Abstract

Randomnicity in socio-economic systems are investigated in the article, from a conceptual point of view. It is shown that the impact of economic agents on the system is the main generator of the emergence of randomnicity in socio-economic processes. It is proposed an epistemological concept, according to which the anthropogenic nature of economic agents’ expectations and preferences, as well as the heterogeneity and heteromorphicity of their subsequent impacts on the socio-economic processes, is the main factor of impacts to the socio-economic system. Ontological aspects of formalization of economic agents’ expectations and preferences in socio-economic processes are considered.
