This paper discusses methodological individualism and the perceived "need" for microfoundations in economic theory. It argues that the persistent focus on microfoundations has led a large part of the field to overlook the complexity of social interactions, the relevance of historical processes,...

This paper provides an overview of behaviors and learning of heterogeneous economic agents -whether individuals or firms- within complex evolving economies. It aims to explore the microfoundation of agency and learning, two fundamental aspects that constitutively contribute to the emergence of...

Social learning (SL) is a behavioral model in which expectations and the resulting aggregate dynamics stem from the interactions of a large amount of heterogeneous agents. Nonetheless, this framework has so far lacked micro-foundations and a general-solution method. This paper bridges these two...

An enormous number of firms fail to deliver economically profitable growth in output even though they may have strong managerial teams and adequate capital. In this paper, we provide new empirical evidence to demonstrate a few fundamental factors that can account for the ability of a firm to...
