• Comparing theories of institutional change (2009, background): “The courts therefore play a key role in determining the direction of institutional change: a process Commons called ‘artificial selection’ to differentiate it from evolutionary theories involving ‘natural selection’ (Hodgson, 2004: chapter 13).”
• Structure, institution, agency, habit, and reflexive deliberation (2008, background): “(Hodgson, 2004: 168–169) One of the well-established functions of habits is that they obviate the need for a kind of ‘hyper-deliberation’ where agents might be assumed to engage in a continual process of conscious deliberation over everything that came within their orbit every moment of the day.”
• Evolutionary and Institutional Economics as the New Mainstream? (2007, background): “4) Indeed, the origins of bounded rationality lie in early twentieth century work by institutional economists, and both Knight and Keynes, who pioneered the uncertainty concept, had affinities with the original institutionalism (Hodgson, 2004).”
• Complexity Thinking and Evolutionary Economic Geography (2007, background): “Explicating these spatially emergent and spatially embedded systems of ‘upward and downward causation’ (Hodgson, 2004), and their multi-scalar operation and manifestation, would seem to us to be a critical task for a complexity-based evolutionary economic geography research agenda.”
• The Impact of Institutional and Human Resource Distance on International Entry Strategies (2009, background): “Institutions are widely believed to evolve over time (Hodgson, 2004; North, 2005; Stoelhorst, 2008) and especially in emerging economies.”
• New Institutional Economics: The Theory of the Firm and Its Critics: A Stocktaking and Assessment (2005, background): “Knowledge-based writers also claim that the existence of the firm can be explained in knowl- edge terms and without invoking opportunism (Hodgson 2004).”
• Advancing Evolutionary Economic Geography by Engaged Pluralism (2014, background): “This distinction would, however, always be prone to criticism, since many applications of evolutionary theory had emphasized the importance of institutions (COOKE et al., 1998; HODGSON, 2004).”
