Abstract

The affinity between the work of the Austrian economist Friedrich A. Hayek and the approach of complexity Economics is widely recognized by the literature. In spite of this, there still is a lack of studies that seek to analyze in depth the relationship between Hayek and complexity. This work aims at filling this gap in the literature. More specifically, it is proposed the study of the relationship between Hayek and complexity Economics in the context of the themes of coordination and evolution. Moreover, it is intended to analyze the methodology proposed by Hayek to the sciences that deal with complex phenomena. (AU)
