In addition to generic similarity in terms of the Darwinian principles of variation, continuity and selection, it is ...

The 'New' Economic Theories [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
This paper has two main goals. The first is to study the links between the “new” economic theories, this is, the “new” trade theory, the “new” growth theory and the “new” economic geography.

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2021
Abstract Economic theory and institutional approaches lack a close connection. Efforts to develop an analysis of institutions within a neo-classical framework have shown serious limitations.

An Economic Theory of Suicide

Journal of Political Economy, 1974
Although sociologists have developed and tested numerous theories about suicide, economists have not analyzed this phenomenon. We derive an economic theory of suicide and test its implications using: (1) data by age in many developed countries; (2) a time series, 1947-67, by age group in the United States; (3) a cross section by state and age group in ...

Theory of games and economic behavior

100 Years of Math Milestones, 1945

Monetarism and Economic Theory

Economica, 1980
In this paper I want to examine the theoretical foundations of "monetarism". At the outset there is a difficulty. Professor Stein writes: "Monetarists are policy oriented. Their major propositions are a series of empirical observations. . . rather than a theory in direct opposition to neo-Keynesian analysis" (Stein, 1976). And Professor Friedman writes,
