摘要: The word “convexity” is ubiquitous in economics, but absent from economics. In this paper we explain why, and show what difference it makes to economic analysis if ecosystem non-convexities are taken seriously. A simple proof provided of the connection between “self-similarity” “power laws”. We also provide an introduction each papers Symposium draw out way which they form a linked set contributions.
