Meta-Rules

Mark Schreiner ()

Development and Comp Systems from EconWPA

Abstract: Meta-rules, or rules for making rules, determine the costs of innovation and thus the pace of economic growth. Adapting rules to a changing economic environment through explicit, well-designed meta-rules makes economic growth quicker, less painful, and more certain than adapting rules through chance-based evolution.
