The Emergent
Complexity and Organisation in Economics Group is a research group
and workshop series primarily within the department of economics
but with participation from other departments that serves as a medium
for discussion and dissemination of research on the broad themes
of open system dynamical processes, self-organization, emergence,
and complexity as they relate to economic subject matter.
The group
is itself something of an emergent phenomenon arising from a critical
mass of research interests within the department that centre upon
a core interest in the evolutionary dynamics of complex economic
systems. However individual approaches to this are highly eclectic,
ranging from evolutionary game theory and evolutionary microeconomics
to Institutional, Behavioural and Post-Keynesian perspectives.
There is an
overarching Schumpeterian and Self-Organisational emphasis, and
a strong commitment to interdisciplinary development. The members
of the group are involved in a range of activities from research
into the philosophy and methodology of evolutionary and complex
adaptive economic systems to theoretical and applied modelling of
economic systems using computational and econometric methods.
