- Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Growth: Linking Policy Research and Practice in "STIG Systems" (2008, neutral): “…rise to positive feedbacks (in advanced and developing economies alike) are grounds simply for expecting that transient historical circumstances can play a role in selecting among the multiplicity of potential configurations that may become stabilized in a non-ergodic system (David 2005, 2007).”
- The economics of innovation: from the classical legacies to the economics of complexity (2009, background): “Hayek (1945) elaborates the notion of distributed knowledge, dispersed and fragmented in a myriad of economic agents and provides the foundations for the new understanding.”
- Internal and external factors in innovation persistence (2013, background): “The dynamics of the process are influenced by a weak irreversibility that allows changes in the process to alter both the rate and the direction of the dynamics with typical path-dependent effects (David 1997, 2007).”
