演化经济学的两种系统观

Two different system approaches in evolutionary economics

演化经济学在系统处理方法上呈现出两种不同的主张,一种是以复杂适应系统理论为导向的演化建模分析方法,而另一种则强调多层级本体论和涌现观,并对复杂系统建模持抵制态度,尽管在反对主流经济学微观还原论这一点上两者取得了一致,但建立在相似性理论基础上的复杂系统建模更适合对复杂性存在的描述,而强调比较的、历史的和阐释的多层级本体论和涌现观的系统分析方法则更接近经验事实。

There are two different system approaches in evolutionary economics. One is evolutionary modeling analysis which is based on the theory of complex adaptive system, while the other stresses the multi - level ontology and emergence concept and is opposed to the modeling approach. Both two approaches disagree with the atomic reductionism of the mainstream economics. The former is fit for describing the existence of complex phenomenon. The latter, which lays emphasis on comparison, history and explanation, is more closer to empirical facts.
