İktisatta Evrimci Yol: İktisat Güncel Evrim Teorisine Ne Kadar Katkı Yaptı?

"Evolutionary Pathways in Economics: How Much Has Economics Contributed to the Contemporary Evolutionary Theory" Ankara University, GETA Discussion Paper Series No: 108 January 2010.

This discussion paper examines the influence of economics on the contemporary evolutionary theory. Citations show that evolutionary economists, especially those working on path dependence theory, such as Paul David and Brian Arthur, are quite popular among natural scientists. Is economics now colonizing chemistry and physics?

The paper is in Turkish only. Nevertheless, it is not difficult to read its figures and diagrams which give a bit of a glimpse on the main theme of the paper.
