As Schoe?er (1955) puts it: “They have taken their mathematics and their ded- tive techniques from physics, their statistics from genetics and agr- omy, their systems of classi?cation from taxonomy and chemistry, their model-construction techniques from astronomy and mechanics, and their methods of analysis of the consequences of actions from en- neering”. The possibility of similarities of structure in mathematical models of economic and physical systems has been an important f- tor in the development of neoclassical theory. To treat the state of an economy as an equilibrium, analogous to the equilibrium of a mech- ical system has been a key concept in economics ever since it became a mathematically formalized science. Adopting a Newtonian paradigm neoclassical economics often is based on three fundamental concepts. Firstly, the representative agent who is a scale model of the whole society with extraordinary capacities, particularly concerning her - pability of information processing and computation. Of course, this is a problematic reduction as agents are both | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Complex system; Complexity; Complexity of Economics; Keynes; behavior; economic systems; information | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-88-470-1083-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-88-470-5569-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-88-470-1083-3Series ISSN 2039-411X Series E-ISSN 2039-4128 | issn_series | 2039-411X | copyright | Springer-Verlag Milan 2009 |
