The construction of knowledge maps, demonstrated in this paper, is designed to show the epistemic landscape of cities, countries or regions. Knowledge assets, knowledge producing and disseminating organisations are referenced to spatial objects and integrated into GIS. They are further...

In the following article I take into consideration the role of knowledge workers in the Italian regions. The analysed data refers to the ISTAT-BES database. The metric analysis consists of an in-depth analysis of the trends of the regions and macro-regions, followed by clustering with the...

The goal of this study is to contribute to the debate on the role of government spending in shaping the growth process. We take the analysis in three new directions. First, we investigate the role of government spending in a scale-invariant Schumpeterian model of endogenous innovation. Second,...

This paper analyzes the relationship between demographic change and automation while taking the role of education into account. This is illustrated by incorporating skilled and unskilled labor into a theoretical model. If labor supply by households decreases, for example, due to demographic...

The government of China, to hone manufacturing’s competitive edge, has adopted a series of regional industrial policies to stimulate advanced manufacturing clusters as facilitators of agglomeration effects, utilisers of factor endowments, and implementers of innovation solutions, by playing...

We study the relationship between tax progressivity and the size of the R&D workforce, using a panel of European countries in 2000-2019. We review the theoretical literature which provides opposing predictions about such a relationship. We then demonstrate that such relationship exists as a...

The article critiques the linear, economically focused definitions of poverty that objectify individuals and perpetuate inequality, advocating for a nuanced understanding of poverty as an adaptive, dynamic phenomenon shaped by systemic instabilities and market failures. It highlights how urban...

In this paper, a qualitative model is inductively developed describing a dynamic “policy mix” -system of innovation enabling and outbalancing dimensions for the deployment of narrow artificial intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing value chain. A literature review first identifies and...

How does the interplay between natural selection, household education choices, and R&D activities shape our macroeconomic trajectory? To explore this question, we develop an innovation-driven growth model that connects household heterogeneity in education ability with endogenous fertility and...
