초록

본 논문의 목적은 진화 경제학 내에서 진행되는 논쟁을 평가하고 바람직한 문제설정을 모색하는 것이다. 흔히 생물학적 진화가 다윈적이라면 사회-경제적 진화는 라마르크적이라고 이해되는 경우가 많다. 경제적 진화가 다윈적인지 라마르크적인에 대한 논의는 사회적 영역에서 유전형과 표현형에 대한 엄격한 개념적 구분을 전제로 한다. 그러나 이러한 식별이 경제적 진화의 속성을 해명하는 데에 반드시 필요하지는 않다. 오히려 논의의 초점은 경제적 진화 메커니즘을 규명하는것이어야만 한다. 진화 메커니즘은 변화와 적응으로서의 체계의 자기 변환이라는누적적 인과의 환류 고리라는 점에서 이에 대한 상술을 통해서 경제적 진화가 실제로 어떻게 진행되는지를 설명할 수 있기 때문이다. 이 점에서 적응적 학습에 주목할 필요가 있다. 적응적 학습은 자연적 진화에서는 발견되지 않는, 사회적 진화의 고유한 진화 메커니즘이며, 따라서 경제적 진화는 다윈적이지도 라마르크적이지도 않은, 고유한 진화 메커니즘을 갖는 것으로 이해되어야 한다.

Abstract

This paper aims to appraise the methodological controversies in evolutionary economics, and to suggest that we should be able to account for the economic evolutionary mechanisms if we are to answer what the nature of economic evolution is. We can understand how economic evolution proceeds in reality by explaining the economic evolutionary mechanisms as feedback loops of cumulative causation of the economic events. In this sense, adaptive learning,which should be regarded as an economic evolutionary mechanism, deserves some attention. It is not found in biology evolution, but only socio-economic one. And therefore, economic evolution should be said to have the distinct mechanisms which are neither Darwinian nor Lamarckian.
