Global Dynamic Systems Centre Working Paper SeriesThis working paper series is the initiative of the Global Dynamic Systems Centre, which was established in 2007. The Centre is concerned with the development of realist economic theory and its application to human societies in the past and present. This work is contributing to a growing body of international research in theoretical areas such as realist dynamics, complexity, and biotransition; and in applied areas such as economic development (China, Japan, and India), institutional change (central banking, and cultural constraints), Australian economic strategy and performance, and macroeconomic policy (inflation targeting, and climate change). Any enquiries about the Centre or the working paper series can be directed to Professor Graeme Snooks at graeme.snooks@anu.edu.au follow the above link to access the Global Dynamic Systems Centre Working Papers Centre for Economics Policy Research (CEPR) Discussion Paper SeriesThe Centre for Economic Policy Research Discussion Papers series began with the founding of the Centre in 1980.
