The Organization of Economic Innovation in Europe cover

The structures and dynamics of technological innovation in Europe analysed in theory and in practice.

By reviewing the practicalities of industrial structures in Europe, the regulations of the European Union and the latest advances in the economic theory of technological innovation, twenty-five eminent economists draw far-reaching conclusions for business, policy making and scholarship.Within the literature on industrial economics and innovation there have been surprisingly few attempts to build analytical frameworks that are based on the distinctive features and institutional characteristics of Europe, and especially of the European Union. This collection explains the organization and dynamics of innovative activities in Europe. Theoretical advances in the economics of technological innovation have been placed alongside empirical research relating to the interaction between the industrial structures of individual member nations and the linking regulations of the European Union. The team of distinguished international contributors includes Paul David and Nick Von Tunzelmann. The Organization of Economic Innovation in Europe is a significant addition to the literature on the economics of innovation and technology.
