A PRIME-DIME seminar hosted by the CEPN Centre d’économie de Paris Nord at the MSH Paris Nord
On February 21 and 22nd 2008

Topic of the seminar

A research program has been developing within PRIME around the notion of search regimes, their properties and dynamics. Meanwhile within DIME a research program has been developing on science based markets. There are obvious potentials of cross fertilization between the two distinct research programs. Search regimes are bound to be influenced by the market conditions for the products deriving from the various scientific developments under study. Respectively dynamics of science based markets are bound to be structured by the intrinsic properties of the developments of the various sciences.

The seminar plans first to present the actual states of development of both research programs on empirical and theoretical grounds. Then to illustrate some effective interconnections between the two perspectives the seminar will promote discussions of various cases studies of both science based markets and search regimes. Finally some contributions should address upfront questions on the inter relations between both programs.

Members of DIME or PRIME networks willing to attend and participate are welcome.
