The present complexity approach is based on two assumptions: A1: measurability of deviations of outcomes with respect to reference values; A2 : extension of A1 to multi-set analysis. Complexity is then defined in terms of multi-set deviation compared to single-set ones; an interpretation is...

There are few concepts more common or elementary in economics than that of market. And yet, it still gives rise to deep differences of views. In the eyes of some, the market reaches the world as a whole, for others the typical area of a market is that of a free trade zone or a common market....

André Raynauld questioned the ability of demand management policies to restore equilibrium in the labour market in a context where only about one third of unemployment is Keynesian. He noted that the budgetary multiplier in Canada is only 1,2 in the short term and practically zero in the long...

The purpose of this paper is to show the capacity of a new non-parametric test based on symbolic entropy and symbolic dynamics to deal with the detection of linear and non-linear spatial causality. The good performance of the new test in detecting spatial causality and causal weighting matrix is...

Technical industrial clusters are defined and analyzed for a sample of U.S. metropolitan regions. Economic structure, spatial proximity and shape of the clusters are examined across the metropolitan regions through various economic and spatial measures and statistics. The data for this research...
