• What is specific about evolutionary economics? (2008, methodology): “In contrast, the new approach of Universal Darwinism advocates just such a combination of a heuristic based on an abstract analogy to Darwinian concepts and a naturalistic ontological position (Hodgson 2002; Hodgson and Knudsen 2006 ).”
• Darwinism in economics: from analogy to continuity (2006, background): “The intention is to apply Darwinian principles as a general purpose tool to various forms of evolution sharing a common ontological basis ( Hodgson and Knudsen 2006; Knudsen 2004).”
• Evolutionary social science and universal Darwinism (2006, neutral): “(But for a well argued different point of view see Hodgson and Knudsen, 2004).”
• Towards a Developmental Turn in Evolutionary Economic Geography? (2015, background): “…principles are quite distinct in different fields, and that economic instances differ from their biological counterparts, nevertheless according to HODGSON and KNUDSEN (2006, 2010) one cannot have satisfactory explanations of how economic systems evolve that do not refer to these three principles…”
• Can Darwinism be “Generalized” and of what use would this be? (2011, background): “that of economics ( Hodgson and Knudsen 2006a, 2010 ).”
• Co-evolution in contemporary economic geography: towards a theoretical framework (2018, background): “Co-evolution is one of the several evolutionary theoretical concepts used in evolutionary economic geography (EEG).”
• Evolution in Economic Geography: Institutions, Political Economy, and Adaptation (2009, background): “Darwinism does not preclude the possibility of Lamarckian evolution but criticizes its weak inheritance mechanism (Hodgson and Knudsen 2006a; Hodgson 2008).”
