A Structural Ranking of Economic Complexity

Schetter, Ulrich - 2019

We propose a structural alternative to the Economic Complexity Index (ECI, Hidalgo and Hausmann 2009; Hausmann et al. 2011) that ranks countries by their complexity. This ranking is tied to comparative advantages. Hence, it reveals information different from GDP per capita on the deep underlying...

A Formal Theory of Politogenesis : Towards an Agent Simulation of Social Complexity Origins

Cioffi-Revilla, Claudio - 2014

origins of human social complexity (politogenesis). However, social theory remains unclear about the prerequisites of social … a paucity of formal theories of politogenesis. I present a formal mathematical theory of social complexity focused on … epoch). The formalism uses probability theory and analysis to derive a set of basic, testable results. The main prediction …

The Complexity of Opportunity

Phelan, Steven - 2014

This paper argues that entrepreneurship can usefully be characterized as the search for peaks on a fitness landscape. This conceptualization is useful in linking together several different views on the nature of opportunity, highlighting reasons for disagreement, and providing a way of bridging...

Hierarchical Invasion of Cooperation in Complex Networks

Vilone, Daniele - 2018

The emergence and survival of cooperation is one of the hardest problems still open in science. Several factors such as the existence of punishment, repeated interactions, topological effects and the formation of prestige may all contribute to explain the counter-intuitive prevalence of...

Complex job design and layers of hierarchy

Russo, Giovanni; Houten, Gijs van - 2021

The main function of hierarchies is to coordinate activities within an organisation, but a hierarchical structure also provides work incentives, by offering the prospect of hierarchical mobility. An alternative way for organisations to motivate workers is through job design. In organisations...

Hemoglobin and Myoglobin Stabilization by Heme-Fluoride Complexes

Cerda, Jose Francisco; Flanders, Kayla G.; Pessagno, … - 2021

Under physiological conditions, hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) are subject to autoxidation, leading to the formation of ferric heme proteins with weakened globular structures and resulting in the loss of the heme cofactor. To gain further insights into the role of the heme pocket in the...
