The evolution of cooperative hierarchies through natural selection processes
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 12 - Trang 29-42 - 2010
According to a bioeconomic model called skew selection, individuals form
cooperative hierarchies when coping with high risk environments that include
predators and cycles of scarce resources. This paper reports a study that used
agent-based computer simulations to experimentally test the predictions of skew
selection. Results of the experiment showed that successful face-to-face
transaction strate...
Plant domestication more rapid under optimizing behavior
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 20 - Trang 287-308 - 2018
We assume that early Neolithic cultivators had an optimizing behavior aiming
yield maximization and labor efficiency. Then we conduct a hypothetical
optimization exercise by examining which consequences such behavior would have
if applied to the cultivation of Near-Eastern wild cereals, especially on their
rate of domestication measured by the frequency of non-shattering seeds. Two
stages of the c...
Toward a 0th Law of Thermodynamics: Order-Creation Complexity Dynamics from Physics and Biology to Bioeconomics
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 6 - Trang 65-96 - 2004
The evolutionary economics part of bioeconomics has its origins in attempts to
justify why only rational firms survive, or to introduce dynamics into economic
orthodoxy. To the extent that these views persist, this aspect of bioeconomics
appears outdated. A more recent view is that the most significant dynamics in
bio- and econospheres are not variances around equilibria. Instead order is now
seen...
Explaining the U-shaped life satisfaction: dissatisfaction as a driver of behavior

Evolution and monopolistic competition in an irrational industry
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 21 - Trang 157-182 - 2019
This paper builds an evolutionary model of an industry where firms produce
differentiated products. Firms have different average cost functions and faces
different demand functions. Firms are assumed to be totally irrational in the
sense that firms enter the industry regardless of the existence of profits;
firms’ outputs are randomly determined rather than generated from profit
maximization proble...
Inframarginal values and demand: Contra Dwight Lee

Convergent cultural evolution and multilevel selection: Reply to comments on Janet Landa’s ‘The bioeconomics of homogenous middleman groups as adaptive units: Theory and empirical evidence viewed from a group selection framework’
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 11 - Trang 185-190 - 2009
The comments on Janet Landa’s (J Bioecon 10(3):259–278, 2008) target article
provide a fascinating snapshot of how multilevel selection theory is perceived
across several disciplines. When we focus on the zone of agreement among the
commentators, Landa’s article provides an important example of convergent
cultural evolution. When we focus on the zone of disagreement, we find a
snapshot of the curr...
Coevolution of product quality and consumer preferences
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 12 - Trang 101-117 - 2010
This paper seeks to analyze the self-reinforcing coevolutionary process of
innovation on the basis of the framework of evolutionary ecology and population
genetics. Particularly central to this analysis is “Fisher’s runaway process,”
which explains the coevolution of product quality and consumer preference in the
supply–demand context. This paper puts forward the following main points. First,
we c...
