Launching Working Papers in Technology Governance and Economic Dynamics
The Other Canon Foundation, Norway, and the Technology Governance program at Tallinn University of Technology (TUT), Estonia, have launched a new working papers series, entitled “Working Papers in Technology Governance and Economic Dynamics”. In the context denoted by the title series, it will publish original research papers, both practical and theoretical, both narrative and analytical, in the area denoted by such concepts as uneven economic growth, techno-economic paradigms, the history and theory of economic policy, and the administration of innovation, but also generally in the wider fields of industrial policy, development, technology, institutions, finance, public policy, and economic and financial history and theory.
The idea is to offer a venue for quickly presenting interesting papers – scholarly articles, especially as preprints, lectures, essays in a form that may be developed further later on – in a high-quality, nicely formatted version, free of charge: all working papers are downloadable for free on this web page as soon as they appear.
The first four working papers are already available from the website. They are
1. Erik S. Reinert, Evolutionary Economics, Classical Development Economics, and the History of Economic Policy: A Plea for Theorizing by Inclusion.
2. Richard R. Nelson, Economic Development from the Perspective of Evolutionary Economic Theory.
3. Erik S. Reinert, Development and Social Goals: Balancing Aid and Development to Prevent ‘Welfare Colonialism’.
4. Jan Kregel and Leonardo Burlamaqui, Finance, Competition, Instability, and Development Microfoundations and Financial Scaffolding of the Economy.
The working paper series is edited by Rainer Kattel (kattel@staff.ttu.ee), Wolfgang Drechsler (drechsler@staff.ttu.ee), and Erik S. Reinert (reinert@staff.ttu.ee), who all of them will be happy to receive submissions, suggestions or referrals.
