Abstract

The terms firm, industry, and market are not associable with uniquely determinable entities. The complexity in Economics and, in particular, in micro, meso, and macro relationships is caused by the presence of multiple forms of the studied objects, by the indeterminacy of results, by the instability of structures, and, at the same time, by the birth of epistemological standards that invite the use of new perspectives to read the company world and the aggregates close to it. In relation to the topic of micro, meso, and macro relationships in the Economics of ComplexityEconomics of Complexity, we focus on four themes of scientific research, which are connected to each other, yet with autonomous insights concerning both content and methodology: The complexity and consequent opacity of the entities being studied, that is, of the company and the meso and macroaggregates with which it relates (industries and markets, above all). The difficulty of identifying boundaries between these entities. The unpredictability of the results of the micro, meso, and macro relationships. The plurality of possible views on micro, meso, and macro relationships and the scientific judgment on these relationships.
