This paper investigates the fruitfulness of the evolutionary economics as the alternative research paradigm for the neoclassical economics. The main theoretical tools for neoclassical economics are the mathematical model and the econometrics, on the other hand, those of evolutionary economics are the agent based modeling and the empirical survey. Although both economics have the solid theoretical hard - cores, their cores are quite different, especially in the linkage among the hard-core and the more complicated and applied research areas. To point out the advantage of the evolutionary economics, we should not assert the theoretical reality but the usefulness as the theoretical tool because both economics employ the as-if scheme to explain the behavior of the economic agents.
