Journal of Evolutionary Economics

Aims & Scope

The journal aims to provide an international forum for a new approach to economics.

Following the tradition of Joseph A.

Schumpeter, it is designed to focus on original research with an evolutionary conception of the economy.

The journal will publish articles with a strong emphasis on dynamics, changing structures (including technologies, institutions, beliefs and behaviours) and disequilibrium processes with an evolutionary perspective (innovation, selection, imitation, etc.).

It favours interdisciplinary analysis and is devoted to theoretical, methodological and applied work.

Research areas include: industrial dynamics; multi-sectoral and cross-country studies of productivity; innovations and new technologies; dynamic competition and structural change in a national and international context; causes and effects of technological, political and social changes; cyclic processes in economic evolution; the role of governments in a dynamic world; modelling complex dynamic economic systems; application of concepts, such as self-organization, bifurcation, and chaos theory to economics; evolutionary games.
