Disrupting path dependency: Making room for Indigenous knowledge in river management

Global Environmental Change, 2019
Scholars frequently identify how path dependency serves to constrain the process of climate adaptation and is a key feature of maladaptation. Most studies, however, centre on theoretical, rather than empirical-based discussions of what path dependency is,

Path dependence

This short paper explains the theory of path dependence and clarifies its relation to concepts such as positive feedback or lock-in, arguing that path dependence is a core theoretical element of political economy in general, and institutional and evolutionary economics in particular.

A unified constitutive model for simulating stress-path dependency of sandy and gravelly soil–structure interfaces

International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2018
A plasticity constitutive model is proposed to simulate the monotonic and cyclic behavior of granular soil–structure interfaces. The model is built on two-surface plasticity models previously developed for interfaces between gravelly soils and structural

Path Dependency: A Dialogue

Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, 2010
Hi Larry! I can’t tell you how honored I am to be invited by the JHPPL editor to engage in this dialogue with you. We read your work in graduate school! And as I surely expected, you render a powerful critique of me and others who use path dependency to illuminate the properties of policy change as it unfolds over time — linear or not.

A review and synthesis of hysteresis in hydrology and hydrological modeling: Memory, path-dependency, or missing physics?

Journal of Hydrology, 2018
Hysteresis is a widely reported phenomenon in natural and engineered systems across different temporal and spatial scales. Its definition is non-unique and rather context-dependent, while systems with hysteretic behavior, including hydrological systems ...

The asymmetric response of farmers to an expected change in the price of rubber: The roles of sunk costs and path dependency

Land Use Policy, 2018
This study examines the impacts of sunk costs and path dependency of rubber farming on farmers’ production responses to expected changes in the price of rubber based on a simple choice experiment implemented in the upper Mekong region in March, 2013. The

Path dependence and path creation

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2009
PurposeThis paper aims to analyze so‐called sustainability, corporate social responsibility or citizenship reports, as artefacts of a compromise between an institutional entrepreneur (IE), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and companies. Some companies take on this invitation but to which extent the information they produce as a result corresponds
