• Conflict and Cooperation: Institutional and Behavioral Economics by A. Allan Schmid Oxford, U.K.: Blackwell, 2004, $85.95 cloth, $43.95 paper, 360 pp. (2004, background): “Schmid’s strategy in enlarging the sources of institutionalism should not be thought opportunistic, but rather as registering the impact of recent change in economics (cf. Davis 2006), the evidence of which is now becoming increasingly apparent throughout the profession.”
• Evolutionary and Institutional Economics as the New Mainstream? (2007, background): “3) See for example Colander (2005a, b), Colander et al. (2004a, b), Davis (2006).”
• Neoclassical, mainstream, orthodox, and heterodox economics (2007, background): “They have made an important contribution to our understanding of how widely accepted ideas change in economics (see also Davis, 2006, who argues along similar lines, emphasizing the differences between instruction and research).”
• The Nature of Heterodox Economics (2006, background): “1 A fuller statement of many of the arguments here can be found in Davis (2006b).”
• The turn in recent economics and return of orthodoxy (2007, background): “However, three perhaps complementary theories about why the postwar dominance of the neoclassical research programme has generated conditions for the rise of the new research programmes in economics are summarised in Davis (2006).”
• What have economists learned about valuing nature? A review essay (2013, background): “Davis (2006) suggests that, since the 1980s, the dominance of neoclassical economics has been supplanted by competing approaches sharing little in common with each other or with neoclassical economics.”
• Planners as Market Actors: Rethinking State–Market Relations in Land and Property (2010, background): “Increasingly, economics draws on mathematics, psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology as more important sources of inspiration than the mechanics that underlie neo-classicism (Davis, 2006, 2008).”
