Working Papers
After almost two highly successful decades, the editors decided to conclude the publication of the working paper series with the 2018 installment, due to new venues and forms of publication for this kind of material. This series is discontinued and we will not accept any new admissions. We would like to thank all contributors over the years. All downloadable working papers are archived and will remain fully available on this website.
The Other Canon Foundation, Norway, and the Technology Governance program at Tallinn University of Technology (TTÜ), Estonia, have run a working papers series, entitled “Working Papers in Technology Governance and Economic Dynamics”. In the context denoted by the title series, it has published 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 has been to offer a venue for quickly presenting interesting papers – scholarly articles, especially as pre-prints, lectures, essays in a form that may be developed further later on – in a high-quality, nicely formatted version, free of charge.
The working paper series was edited by Rainer Kattel, Wolfgang Drechsler and Erik S. Reinert.
