The convergence of RBV and the Nelson's evolutionary economics is interesting. It seems that on the way of improving the rigor of RBV, the RBV theorists firstly moved from RBV to Knowledge-BV, then moved further to dynamic capabilities, and thus was getting closer to evolutionary economics all the way.

Why is that, really? Anyways, there are a few more cores you might want to add to that list: Demsetz, H. 1973. Industry structure, market rivalry, and public policy. Journal of Law and Economics, 16: 1-9. Barney, J. 1986. Strategic factor market: Expectations, luck and business Strategy, Management Science, 32, pp. 1231-1241. The idea is that there is a strategic factor market where firms buy and sell resources necessary to implement strategies, which is an interesting leap. I believe Barney actually refers to these foundations as a more important than his 1991 summary paper. Great overview, and I agree, Barney’s reputation as the core of RBV is curious.
