New paper for downloading: Lundvall. B.-Å., Johnson, B., Andersen, E.S., Dalum, D., National Systems of Production, Innovation and Competence Building, Revised version of paper presented at the DRUID's Nelson and Winter Conference, Aalborg, 12-15 June 2001.

18 Jun 2001

New paper for downloading: Toward a Multiactivity Generalisation of the Nelson-Winter Model (41 pp.), presented at the DRUID's Nelson and Winter Conference, Aalborg, 12-15 June 2001. A special page with links and simulation models has been created in relation to this paper.

25 Apr 2001

A couple of very simple evolutionary models are now available for those who have access to Maple 6 (and probably also Maple V.5): the Simple Nelson and Winter model and Arthur's model of competing technologies, see the index to Maple programs.

29 May 2000

Andersen has transformed Marco Valente's web pages into a new website for the Laboratory of Simulation Development. The website includes manuals, evolutionary models and downloads - including the new version Lsd 3.0b1 (download MS Windows version). The website is developed by means of the same tools for website development as the site on Informatics and Network Economics.

20 Apr 2000

Andersen has been the main developer of a new and complex website on Informatics and Network Economics, including a new master education. The website applies Open Source Software tools like the Apache server with PHP scripting and the MySQL database server, see pages on website development tools. Later these tools will be used for a major update of the present website.

Old history of the web site

March 1998

A new round of updating begins.

June-August 1997

A major redesign of the web site is carried out. Both the Andersen Site and the Evolutionary Economics Site was been implemented and debugged. Include files are used to enhance layout consistency. Search facilities have been implemented - but not made public.

January-May 1997

The spring term was planned as a period for web site reconstruction, but nothing happens. The redesign presupposes quite concentrated work.

August-September 1996

Instead of htlm-sation of reports the emphasis is put on making available working papers as PDF and PS files both at the ANDERSEN and the EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMICS web sites. Even programs (in Maple format, etc.) are made available. With respect to the autumn term course in intermediate microeconomics much lest work is spent compared to the autumn of 1995. Much of the complexity of the site for the 1995 course is removed, so the site looks more like the well-known course sites from e.g. the US.

February-July 1996

Within the DRUID a project of programming and simulation of evolutionary processes is created. This gives a more organisational approach to an EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMICS web site. But the work concerning the web site does not mix well with the research activities. As a result the major achievements with respect to the web site are html-isation of reports, etc.

September-October 1995

An EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMICS website designed for both theoretical and empirically oriented economics of evolution and technical change is designed. But the project runs rapidly into poblems. It becomes obvious that complex sites cannot be maintained without tools for web site management and support from the computer unit. But the main problem is that too much work is required from the "docmaster".

July-September 1995

In relation to a course in intermediate microeconomics a large and complex set of pages is created. But there is no ambition of creating a MICROECONOMICS web site. The pages (in Danish) of the course is rather used experimentally in relation to web design.

May 1995

An attempt is made to move from an ANDERSEN web site towards an EVOLUTIONARYECONOMICS web site (e.g. of relevance for a European PhD programme - ETIC). Materials from Andersen's book on Evolutionary Economics is not only html-isised, but hyperlinks and imagemaps are used for linking the different levels of the exposition (text, formulas, algorithms and flowcharts). It shows up that the "bread and butter" issues of downloading, etc. are not solved effectively. It is easier to design and manage simpler and organisationally oriented web sites of IKE and DRUID.

February/March 1995

The ANDERSEN web site is created starting with a - too large - home page. The ambition is to create a complex system of academic pages to support research and teaching within evolutionary economics in the broad sense. The site is thought as being complementary to the simpler "bread and butter" web sites of IKE (Aalborg University's Group of Innovation Studies) and DRUID (Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics).
