• Towards a Developmental Turn in Evolutionary Economic Geography? (2015, background): “…integrated or generally agreed form of geographical political economy, just as there is no single unified version of evolutionary economics (DOPFER and POTTS, 2004, p. 195); nevertheless common themes of most versions of geographical political economy include an explicit focus on uneven…”
• Relational Economic Geography: A Partial Understanding or a New Paradigm? (2008, background): “Such a perspective allows us to search for the rules that underlie different varieties and types of economic connections and to try to understand how these rules evolve over time (Hayter 2004; Dopfer and Potts 2004).”
• Complex agent-based macroeconomics: a manifesto for a new paradigm (2010, methodology): “The approach we endorse has a natural counterpart in the “micro-meso-macro” analytical reasoning recently developed in evolutionary and neo-Schumpeterian economics, as illustrated for instance in Dopfer and Potts (2004) , Dopfer et al. (2004) and Foster and Potts (2007).”
• Complexity Thinking and Evolutionary Economic Geography (2007, background): “Dopfer and Potts (2004a) argue for a form of evolutionary realism which explains knowledge as evolutionary dynamics among systems of generic economic rules.”
• What is specific about evolutionary economics? (2008, background): “…between the Geisteswissenschaften (humanities)—to which economics is considered to belong—and the sciences, see the discussion in Herrmann-Pillath (2001) and Dopfer and Potts (2004). these basic assumptions about reality cannot be subjected to a test, they are sometimes classified as metaphysical.”
