Bücher der Reihe Economics of Science, Technology and Innovation

The concept of localized technological change is emerging at the crossroads of different approaches to the economics of innovation and new technologies.

A collection of essays about innovative policy in the knowledge-based economy. It considers elements of an innovation policy: innovation policy and academic research, innovation policy in electronic commerce, and innovation policy and globalization issues.

This book provides a unique set of empirical and theoretical analyses on the conditions, determinants and effects of the exchange and trade of technological knowledge.

Collecting an array of contributions on the issue of industrial districts, this work gives insights into the complexity of industrial clustering. It is intended for policy makers and as a supplemental text for courses in applied economics and business, industrial organization, industrial districts/clusters management, and network economics.

Provides a US-wide analysis of local university-high technology connections at the lowest possible level of spatial aggregation. This book focuses on the regional aspects of the interaction between high technology innovations, university and private R&D at the proper spatial scale, at the level of counties and metropolitan areas.

`Biotechnology' - the integrated use of biochemistry, microbiology, and chemical engineering for the technological application of the capabilities of microbes and cultured tissue cells - is quickly becoming pervasive and challenging, rapidly developing both new techniques and industries.

This text presents contributions which increase the understanding of the role of services in the development of the division of labour in modern economics.

Empirical estimation confinns that the location of product innovation is related to the underlying technological infrastructure, and that the location of the knowledge inputs are mutually reinforcing in defining a region's competitive advantage.

In an era of intense globalization, the critical role of the region as a center for economic development has sometimes been overlooked.

It is now widely recognized that many of the central unresolved problems in economic policy, management and research turn on questions of knowledge. This book tells the story of the dynamic interplay between knowledge and innovation with an eye to developing tools and frameworks for managing knowledge for social and economic benefit.

Discusses the relationship between technological innovation and economic growth. This book provides an overview of how the technological systems studied here relate to Sweden's overall technological profile. It then offers an explanation of each of the four chosen technological systems. It concludes with a discussion of key lessons and issues.

The focus here is instead on the innovation process, and therefore examines framework issues about how we can assess networks of innovators, measurement issues for both researchers and official statisticians, and impact issues for both industry strategists and policy makers.

This volume provides a collection of theoretical articles and empirical studies on innovation and location by focusing on the institutions and systems that mediate knowledge spillovers. The second section provides empirical studies that attempt to measure these impacts.

Technological Systems in the Bio Industries: An International Study represents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and systematic effort to understand the nature and role of technological change in a rapidly evolving arena of economic activity that can be loosely referred to as the bio industries.

William Latham Christian Le Bas Persistence of firm innovative behavior became an important topic in applied industrial organization with the publication of the seminal empirical work of P.

Information, Innovation and Impacts - a joint project between the Program of Research in International Management and Economy (PRIME) at the University of Ottawa and Statistics Canada - brings together economic, social and statistical views of the impacts of the innovative uses of information.

In an era of intense globalization, the critical role of the region as a center for economic development has sometimes been overlooked.

Empirical estimation confinns that the location of product innovation is related to the underlying technological infrastructure, and that the location of the knowledge inputs are mutually reinforcing in defining a region's competitive advantage.

Both economic, social and political changes affect the characteristic diversity of Europe and they have a special impact on the countries and regions that were traditionally known as the periphery within Western Europe.
