Andreas Pyka holds the chair for innovation economics at the University of Hohenheim. Currently, his research areas are knowledge-driven developments and transformation of economic systems with a particular emphasis on the knowledge-based bioeconomy and the transformation of economic systems towards sustainability.
<p>The complexity economics, based on physical algorithms and statistics to analyze economic mass data and time-series, provides an alternative paradigm to the overly-simplified mainstream rationality assumption-based Neoclassical approach for understanding macro growth, structural transformation, climate change, financial crises, trade wars and other real-world phenomena. This Handbook collects recent progresses and new insights by authors in this new discipline. I recommend the book to scholars who are interested in this new approach. </p><p><b>Justin Yifu Lin</b><br />Professor and Dean, Institute of New Structural Economics, Peking University, China<br />Former Chief Economist, the World Bank</p><p>The economic system is a supremely complex one. The traditional approach to understanding it has been to reduce complexities to simple rules and behaviors, abstracting many features of the real economy. However, thanks to the enormous increases in both the amount of data available and computing power, there is nowadays an alternative approach: the one proposed by complexity economics, a fast-growing field in economic analysis.</p><p>The Handbook of Complexity Economics provides a thorough and updated vision of this very promising field and will surely encourage many scholars to deepen research in this area. </p><p><b>Victor A. Beker</b><br />Professor of Economics, University of Belgrano and University of Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />Former Associate Editor of <i>Journal of Behavior and Organization</i></p><p>Timely and compact one-volume from a set of economists uniquely positioned to contribute about complexity. The result is an up-to-date, integrated, compelling, canonical guide-book on the contours and contents of an approach that is extremely remunerative for theory as well as actual practice in the 21st century economy. Older and younger generations now have a fresh meeting point from where to breathe new life into the most pressing intellectual and societal challenges of our age.</p><p><b>Sandro Mendonça</b><br />Iscte Business School, Portugal<br />Former communications regulator</p>
