Schumpeter Conference 21-24 June 2010: First Call for Papers

13th International Schumpeter Society Conference: Innovation, Organisation, Sustainability and Crises, 21-24 June 2010 at Aalborg University, Denmark

Deadline for papers/extended abstracts: 15 February 2010

The Schumpeter Conference 2010 in Aalborg, Denmark serves as an opportunity for both established scholars and young researchers to present research that has a Schumpeterian perspective. The major topic of the 2010 conference is "Innovation, Organisation, Sustainability and Crises". But the conference more generally embraces micro-studies of the innovation, routine and selection as well as studies of the macro-problems of Schumpeterian growth and development as a process of "creative destruction". The broad range of issues implies that both economists, business economists, and other social scientists can contribute to the conference and that evidence may be provided by statistical and historical methods as well as other methods.

The International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society has more than 400 members from 40 countries. The Society publishes the Journal of Evolutionary Economics and awards the Schumpeter prize. Since the founding conference in 1986, the Society has held biannual open-call conferences. After Aalborg in 2010, the next conference will be held in Australia in 2012 at the University of Queensland. Examples of previous conferences are the 11th Schumpeter Conference in Nice (2006) and the 12th Schumpeter Conference in Rio de Janeiro (2008).

The conference's scientific committee: Esben Sloth Andersen, Giovanni Dosi, Jan Fagerberg, Maryann Feldman, John Foster, Shulin Gu, Horst Hanusch, Steven Klepper, Edward Lorenz, Bengt-Åke Lundvall, Franco Malerba, Ben Martin, Maureen McKelvey, Stanley Metcalfe, Richard Nelson, Carlota Perez, Paolo Saviotti, Morris Teubal, Bart Verspagen, and Sidney Winter.

The local organisers: Esben Sloth Andersen, Michael S. Dahl, Bent Dalum, Bengt-Åke Lundvall, and Christian R. Østergaard
