共同演化理论研究评述

Comments on the Theory of Coevolution

共同演化理论是现代演化经济学的理论前沿。现代演化经济学的重要进展之一,是在达尔文选择理论的基本框架下融合复杂系统理论,从单一层级的演化理论扩展到多个层级的共同演化理论。通过梳理该领域最近的研究文献,本文较为系统地归纳和评述了共同演化的内涵、特征及其在社会经济系统中的主要运用。最后还指出该领域进一步研究的难点和方向。

The theory of coevolution is the theoretical frontier in the modern evolutionary economics. One of the most important developments in modern evolutionary economics is the extension of analysis from the single level evolution to multi level coevolution under the theoretical framework of Darwinism. This paper surveys the new literatures of this field and gives full comments on the definition, features and the major applications of the coevolution in social economic sphere. Finally, the paper points out some essential and difficult questions, and suggests the direction for the further study in this field.
