In this report we provide an informal mathematical introduction to the use of some methods from graph theory for the data analysis of non-standard time series. By this we mean information from a channel that is not presented to us in the usual format as a regular sequence of numbers. In...

This theses introduces the idea of a symbiotic relationship between evolutionary-institutional and complexity economics. It consists of two major contributions: The first contribution focuses on how the emerging research program of complexity economics can benefit from evolutionary-institutional...
