探讨将复杂性理论作为演化经济地理学另一种理论基础的可能性,将经济景观视为复杂适应系统,并考察复杂性经济学的关键概念能否帮助理解经济景观的不均衡发展与适应性转型。

Abstract

Thus far, most of the work towards the construction of an evolutionary economic\ngeography has drawn upon a particular version of evolutionary economics, namely\nthe Nelson-Winter framework, which blends Darwinian concepts and metaphors\n(especially variety, selection, novelty and inheritance) and elements of a behavioural\ntheory of the firm. Much less attention has been directed to an alternative conception\nbased on complexity theory, yet in recent years complexity theory has increasingly been\nconcerned with the general attributes of evolutionary natural and social systems. In this\narticle we explore the idea of the economic landscape as a complex adaptive system.\nWe identify several key notions of what is being called the new ‘complexity economics’,\nand examine whether and in what ways these can be used to help inform an\nevolutionary perspective for understanding the uneven development and adaptive\ntransformation of the economic landscape.
