The challenge of evolutionary economics
Article Abstract:
It is difficult to produce a clear explanation of the term 'evolutionary economics,' as it is used in a number of different ways. Many economists assume that its meaning is generally understood, but this is far from being the case. It is therefore useful to consider the main issues involved in the concept of evolutionary economics. The concept inevitably involved novelty, which in turn cannot be confined within the boundaries of formalism. It is clear that evolutionary economics is now at a vital stage in its development.

Forests and economic welfare
Article Abstract:
Forests have influenced many nations economically, though their contribution is usually measured in terms of the industrial ventures which they support. Non-timber forest products taken as a whole have a significant effect on the household income of a rural family in developing countries. Data indicate that non-timber forest products equal 50 percent of income obtained from agriculture, on the average.
