Description
Summary:In 1980 Richard H. Day co-founded and long edited the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization (JEBO). It development reflected the intellectual journey that Day himself followed in his career from an early interest in decision-making by farmers using programming methods through studying adaptation in organizations facing bounded rationality and nonlinear dynamics to a broad evolutionary approach to long-run patterns of economic growth and development. A not widely recognized outcome of this was that JEBO would become a leading outlet for evolutionary economics, including all of its various strands, including biological, organizational, NeoSchumpeterian, Alchian efficiency, Simonian bounded rationality, evolutionary game theory, and complexity evolution.
