| Abstract: | Die Entwicklung des Konzepts der "Narrative Economics" geht auf den Nobelpreisträger Robert Shiller zurück. Im Zentrum seiner Überlegungen steht die Annahme, dass Narrative einen eigenständigen Einfluss auf wirtschaftliche Prozesse ausüben und daher auch in ökonomischen Analysen Beachtung finden sollten. Solche Narrative werden von Individuen bzw. Wirtschaftssubjekten erzählt, in der Öffentlichkeit verbreitet und formen auf diese Weise kollektiv das gesellschaftliche Bild der wirtschaftlichen Lage sowie die Erwartungen über zukünftige Entwicklungen. |
| Keywords: | Narrative Ökonomik, ökonomische Narrative, Storytelling, virale Narrative |

| Abstract: | This paper reviews the twin challenges of measurement and aggregation in economics and the natural sciences, with climate risk as a guiding example. It synthesises a broad range of theoretical and empirical perspectives, tracing ideas from early systems theory to modern macroeconomic debates, and compares the approaches of economics, complexity science, and climate science to the micro–macro aggregation problem. Several key conceptual tensions are highlighted—most notably the “micro–macro gap†—and the limitations of traditional models when confronted with heterogeneity, deep uncertainty, and non-linear feedbacks are demonstrated, especially in the climate-risk context. It also reviews emerging methodologies and proposes integrated frameworks to combine micro-level detail with macro-level consistency. Finally, the paper outlines a roadmap for future research and policy, advocating interdisciplinary collaboration, improved data infrastructure, and adaptive modelling strategies to better capture climate change |

| Abstract: | Corresponde prestarle atención a algunas limitaciones que tiene el análisis neoclásico. Después de sintetizar el análisis neoclásico o, si se prefiere, una versión caricaturizada, me concentro en el enfoque de racionalidad acotada, en la economía del comportamiento, y en las denominadas “fallas de mercado”. ¿Qué tiene de bueno el enfoque neoclásico? Que para entender la decisión humana, coloca en un lugar central a los incentivos y a los desincentivos. |

| Abstract: | We replace Weber's "spirit of capitalism" with a constitutional-cultural framework we call the republican spirit of innovism operating within a re-public of entrepreneurs. In such an order, ordinary people repeatedly propose, test, and lawfully imitate improvements under general, impersonal rules-secure property, open entry and exit, credible contract, and freedoms of speech and association. Building on Mises(calculation and residual claimancy), Hayek (discovery and dispersed knowledge), Kirzner (alertness and equilibration), and the historical evidence assembled by Mc Closkey, Mokyr, and Phelps, we argue that modern prosperity stems less from elite R&D or capital deepening and more from creative construction by the many. We derive empirical signatures-proposal density, feedback speed, and diffusion breadth-and outline a policy agenda favoring open standards, disclosure-oriented intellectual property, contestability, and re producibility. Case evidence from Britain (since 1700), the United States (since the 1780s), and contemporary technological and biomedical sectors shows that when rules keep feedback honest and imitation lawful, total factor productivity rises persistently. |

| Abstract: | Este artículo examina la evolución de la creatividad en las organizaciones desde la década de 1940, analizando cómo los enfoques de publicidad, psicología, management e inteligencia artificial han marcado su desarrollo. A través de una revisión histórica segmentada por décadas, se muestra el tránsito de la creatividad como rasgo de genios individuales a proceso sistemático integrado en la gestión. Las implicaciones subrayan la importancia de fomentar una cultura organizacional creativa, promover la colaboración interdisciplinaria y adoptar herramientas digitales y metodologías ágiles. Se concluye que la creatividad es hoy un componente estratégico clave para la innovación, la toma de decisiones y la resolución de problemas. De cara al futuro, la transformación digital, un liderazgo adaptativo y la incorporación de enfoques sostenibles y éticos serán motores esenciales para potenciar la creatividad en la gestión empresarial. Este recorrido evidencia la complejidad y multidisciplinariedad del fenómeno creativo en el entorno organizacional. |
