Today's theorizing about economic policy is still dominated by a method of analysis that can be refered to as "instrumentalistic-technological". Especially typical for that method is the complete abstraction from cognitive-evolutionary aspects of economic-policy interaction. However, including...

We study the nature of dominance violations in three minimalist dominance-solvable guessing games, featuring two or three players choosing among two or three strategies. We examine how subjects' reported reasoning translates into their choices and beliefs about others' choices, and how reasoning...

This paper addresses the question of whether government procurement can work as a de facto innovation policy tool. We … develop an endogenous growth model with quality-improving innovation that incorporates industries with heterogeneous … innovation sizes. Government demand in high-tech industries increases the market size in these industries and, with it, the …
