Complexity and the Coordination of Technological Knowledge: the Case of Innovation Platforms

Author

Listed:
Abstract
This comprehensive and innovative Handbook applies the tools of the economics of complexity to analyse the causes and effects of technological and structural change. It grafts the intuitions of the economics of complexity into the tradition of analysis based upon the Schumpeterian and Marshallian legacies.
