Behavioural types determining economic systems
by S.I. Cohen
International Journal of Society Systems Science (IJSSS), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: The paper formulates an analytical framework that considers the roles of a changing distribution of agents on behavioural settings with distinct behavioural traits and of their interactive behaviour across many settings, in pushing the economic system towards a distinct behavioural type. The framework is elaborated to distinguish between basically different economic systems along distinct behavioural types and applied to major regions in the world. The focus is on three behavioural settings: household firm and state settings and on the behavioural types that associate with these settings. Attention is also given to persuasive settings, which are especially relevant in China and India. The paper addresses also questions as to why and how different paths emerged for alternative systems, their comparative economic performances and their future global outlooks in the context of displacements of leading countries that relate to particular economic systems.
