We propose a theoretical model/framework for the analysis of the concomitant effects of structural changes in both production and consumption, on long run economic growth and income distribution. To accomplish with such a broad aim, we develop an evolutionary model with agent-based micro-foundations. read more »

Author(s):

Elisabetta Marinelli, SPRU University of Sussex

The fast pace of global economic integration and the spread of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have substantial distributional and structural implications which, despite their relevance, are not sufficiently recognised at the policy level. The present work explores these issues through a literature review of scholarly and policy makers' contributions. read more »

Globalisation of production and innovation: how outsourcing is reshaping an advanced manufacturing area

Submitted by Bart Verspagen on 12 September, 2007 - 21:47.

Number:

The paper investigates the diversified patterns of outsourcing in the Lombardy region. Based on a large firm-level survey, the work investigates extent, depth, regional embeddedness and degree of internationalisation of outsourcing processes, differentiating production, research and service activities. Fragmentation is remarkably wide and interests all industrial sectors to a similar extent. read more »

Measuring Regional Innovativeness. A Methodological Discussion and an Application to One German Industry

Submitted by Bart Verspagen on 12 September, 2007 - 21:33.

Number:

Author(s):

Tom Broekel, MPI

Thomas Brenner, MPI

The regional or national innovation performance has been repeatedly measured in the literature; but it has so far not been discussed what this means, especially in relation to a region. What is the contribution of a region to innovation output? The usual approaches implicitly assume that higher innovation outputs per inhabitant, employee, or R&D employee can be assigned to a region. read more »

Author(s):

Elisabetta Marinelli, SPRU University of Sussex

This work endorses the integration of both demand and supply side analysis in the study of economic and technological phenomena, by reviewing various scattered streams of literature, which have explored the link between innovation and demand, and highlighting how they can contribute to our understanding of growth and structural change. read more »
