The application of evolutionary concepts in evolutionary economics

Cordes, Christian - 2014

There are several ways to incorporate evolutionary concepts into economic thinking. This article reviews the most important transfers of this kind into evolutionary economics. It broadly differentiates between approaches that draw on an analogy construction to the biological sphere, those that...

Biology and the Arguments of Utility

Rayo, Luis; Robson, Arthur - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2013

Why did evolution not give us a utility function that is offspring alone? Why do we care intrinsically about other outcomes, such as food, and what determines the intensity of such preferences? A common view is that such other outcomes enhance fitness and the intensity of our preference for a...

Biology and the Arguments of Utility

Rayo, Luis; Robson, Arthur - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2013

Why did evolution not give us a utility function that is offspring alone? Why do we care intrinsically about other outcomes, food, for example, and what determines the intensity of such preferences? A common view is that such other outcomes enhance fitness and the intensity of our preference for...

The Race for Evolutionary Success

Tonn, Bruce; Stiefel, Dorian - In: Sustainability 4 (2012) 8, pp. 1787-1805

The Earth appears to be at the beginning of sixth massive species extinction. This paper balances a review of the forces threatening species survival with a comprehensive scan of factors that could act as counterweights. These factors could lead to four types of evolution—cultural, regulatory,...

Culture Outsmarts Nature in the Evolution of Cooperation

Jaffe, Klaus; Cipriani, Roberto - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 10 (2007) 1, pp. 7-7

A one dimensional cellular automata model describes the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation when grouping by cooperators provides protection against predation. It is used to compare the dynamics of evolution of cooperation in three settings. G: only vertical transmission of information is...

There are several ways to incorporate evolutionary concepts into economic thinking.

Cordes, Christian - Volkswirtschaft Abteilung, Fachbereich … - 2014

This article reviews the most important transfers of this kind into evolutionary economics. It broadly differentiates between approaches that draw on an analogy construction to the biological sphere, those that make metaphorical use of Darwinian ideas, and avenues that are based on the fact that...

Ancient and Current Chaos Theories

Gunduz, G. - In: Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems - … 4 (2006) 1, pp. 1-18

Chaos theories developed in the last three decades have made very important contributions to our understanding of dynamical systems and natural phenomena. The meaning of chaos in the current theories and in the past is somewhat different from each other. In this work, the properties of dynamical...
