About Me

My photo
Gerald Silverberg
I'm a research economist at UNU-MERIT (Maastricht, The Netherlands, now retired) and IIASA (Laxenburg, Austria) with a specialization in the economics of innovation, complex dynamics, economic growth and evolutionary economics. By the 2008 world crisis at the latest it became clear that macroeconomics, financial markets and economic policy cannot be entrusted anymore to mainstream economists. Hence this blog.
