This paper offers an econometric methodology for the detection of self-organisational change (defined in terms of the presence of time irreversibility, structural change and fundamental uncertainty) in economic precesses that follow logistic diffusion growth paths in historical time. The...

A methodology is offered which can be used to construct an econometric model in the presence of structural change of an evolutionary type. The theoretical basis for such modelling is drawn from the self-organisation approach and operationalised in the context of the logistic diffusion growth...

This article assesses the usefulness of transaction cost economics when we view economic organizations, such as firms as complex adaptive systems. Modern complexity science is a radically different in orientation to neoclassical economics, which deals with decision making in contexts that are...

In this paper, it is argued that the espousal of biological analogies by evolutionary economists cannot reveal the most important features of evolutionary change in economic processes. Analogies are used to best effect in the preliminary stages of research and in their normal linguistic role as...

Economic motivations and economic processes play a key role in the emergence and diffusion of communication and information technologies. The objective of this paper is to offer an economic approach which is better suited to understanding such motivations and processes within an...
