Abstract

Modern evolutionary economics has come a long way from its beginnings in the writings of a few economists in the 1970s and 1980s. To a considerable extent, its evolution has been the result of the findings of empirical research, much but not all of it motivated by an explicit or implicit evolutionary perspective, which has fed back to modify and enrich the way evolutionary economists view the way modern economies work. This article focuses on developments that have broadened and sharpened the evolutionary perspective on the capabilities and behavior of firms, the processes and institutions involved in technological progress, and competition and dynamics in industries where technological opportunities are expanding. In the course of these developments, the conception of what it means to propose that a dynamic process is evolutionary has evolved. The article considers, as well, where evolutionary economics might be going from where it is now.

进化经济学的演进视角

摘要

现代进化经济学在1970年代和1980年代的一些经济学家的著作中都走了很长一段路。在相当大的程度上，它的演变是实证研究结果的结果，但它的大部分但并非全部是由显式或隐式的进化观点所推动的，这种观点反过来修改和丰富了进化经济学家对现代经济的看法。工作。本文关注的发展范围扩大了企业的能力和行为，涉及技术进步的过程和机构以及技术机会在不断发展的行业中的竞争和动态的演化观点，并扩大了这些观点。在这些发展过程中，提出动态过程是进化的意味着什么的概念已经演变。
