Over the last decade, however, a number of explicit evolutionary theories have been developed by economists, and other social scientists. This essay discusses the general analytic art form, and summarizes and discusses a number of the particular models. In the light of those examples, it evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of explicit evolutionary theorizing as an approach to understanding economic change. date: 1995 date_type: published publisher: American Economic Association official_url: http://docplayer.net/129052-Recent-evolutionary-theorizing-about-economic-change-by-richard-r-nelson-columbia-university.html iiasapubid: XJ-95-125 iiasa_bibref: Journal of Economic Literature; XXXIII:48-90 [1995] iiasa_bibnotes: Available as IIASA Reprint RP-96-005 creators_browse_id: 2228 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Economic Literature volume: 33 number: 1 pagerange: 48-90 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-0515 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Nelson, R.R.
