Sustainability and Resilience: Toward a Systems Approach (2006, background): “The concept of resilience has emerged as a critical characteristic of complex, dynamic systems in a range of disciplines including economics (Arthur, 1999), ecology (Folke et al.”
Modelling complex systems of heterogeneous agents to better design sustainability transitions policy (2015, background): “…cannot be predicted, they almost always lie within known bounds, over which statistics can be developed when considering large groups of people (as for physical particles – e.g. the multinomial logit in social sciences is conceptually identical to the Boltzmann factor in statistical physics).”
Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: organizing principles for advancing research methods and approaches (2018, background): “The notion of complexity, seen as a systems property, expands on the ideas of systems thinking, and has been studied from a variety of perspectives (Bateson 1979, Prigogine and Stengers 1984, Rosen 1991, Holland 1995, Cilliers 1998, Arthur 1999, Levin 1999, Morin 2008).”
Transaction costs, collective action and adaptation in managing complex social–ecological systems (2013, background): “The equilibrium that eventuates can be highly sensitive to any one of many small ‘random’ contingencies the occurrence and/or significance of which cannot be foreseen (Arthur 1999).”
Service-dominant logic 2025 (2017, background): “As stated, we are encouraged by what is becoming known as “complexity economics” (Arthur, 2015), because it allows for the study of economic and social actors under more realistic assumptions, such as non-linearity, actor created rules that can become law-like through institutionalization, within a…”
Engineering Competence? An Interpretive Investigation of Engineering Students' Professional Formation (2011, background): “Arthur (1999) advocates that a complex system should be influenced “not by a heavy hand, not an invisible hand, but a nudging hand.””
