W. Brian Arthur arrived at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna

W. Brian Arthur is an economist and complexity theorist, best known for his early theoretical work on increasing returns in the economy and their role in locking markets in to the domination of one or two players. He is one of the founders of the Santa Fe Institute, and served many years on its Science Board and Board of Trustees. Recently he has investigated technology and innovation in his book “The Nature of Technology, What it Is and How it Evolves” (2009). Arthur is the recipient of the inaugural Lagrange Prize in Complexity Science in 2008, the Schumpeter Prize in Economics in 1990, and two honorary doctorates. He has been Morrison Professor of Economics and Population Studies at Stanford, and Citibank Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society. His other books are “Increasing Returns and Path Dependence in the Economy” (1994), and “Complexity and the Economy” (2014).
