PREFACE. Information, understood as a costly process, innovation, economic growth and the related mathematical models have been the crucial topics discussed during the Incontro con Kenneth J. Arrow held in Naples, at the prestigious seat of the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici. Fundamental insights about the processing of information and its links with the principle of increasing returns (to scale) for information have been illustrated by two simple ed elegant models by Kenneth J. Arrow and widely discussed by Marco Pagano. Innovation, economic growth and the related modelling problems have been discussed in the round table General Equilibrium and Growth, with significant contributions by Kenneth J. Arrow, Heinz Kurz, Ignazio Musu and Neri Salvadori.

The management of uncertainty, the perspective of coherence of probabilistic evaluations, above all in the case of updating of information, and the necessity of a suitable logical architecture for setting of the above issues, mark the contribution by Romano Scozzafava and the discussion by Antonio Di Nola.

In particular, they stress that key points for processing partial information are the fair definition of concepts as conditional events and conditional uncertainty measures. They need suitable algebraic structures and analytical models....
