Knowledge and its Economic Characteristics: A Conceptual Clarification

Ulrich Witt, Tom Broekel () and Thomas Brenner ()

Chapter 16 in Handbook of Knowledge and Economics, 2012 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: By illuminating the philosophical roots of the various notions of knowledge employed by economists, this Handbook helps to disentangle conceptual and typological issues surrounding the debate on knowledge amongst economists. Wide-ranging in scope, it explores fundamental aspects of the relationship between knowledge and economics – such as the nature of knowledge, knowledge acquisition and knowledge diffusion.
