Adaptability and growth of socioeconomic systems — •Flavioaugusto Pinto Piabatto, Anselmo García Cantu Ros, Camila Flórez Bossio, Linda Krummenauer, Katja Voigt, and Jürgen P. Kropp — Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Potsfach 601203, 14412 Potsdam

The article offers a perspective on socioeconomic systems, worth for analyzing their adaptive dynamics and evolution. We represent socioeconomic systems from two functions -perspectives and productivity functions, to formalize the relations among the main descriptors of adaptability (sensitivity, susceptibility, vulnerability, resilience, coping and adaptive capacity). Adaptation occurs locally, from loops of transformations of insights and potentials into capacity. The creation of capacity to cope with vicissitudes of any type and size-including shocks-is carried out by a structure in charge of the qualification of socioeconomic systems. We show that the transformation of the productive structure of socioeconomic systems over the last two or three centuries has been the construction of the structure of qualification, the structure of adaptive capacity. We explore implications of Ksi for adaptation and growth.
