Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge überbrücken eine Zeitspanne von drei Jahrzehnten im wissenschaftlichen Wirken Walter Euckens, von seiner 1921 gehaltenen Antrittsvorlesung "Zur Würdigung Saint Simons" bis zum letzten von ihm verfassten Beitrag "Unser Zeitalter der Misserfolge", den...

Disputes over whether the Scientific Revolution contributed to the Industrial Revolution begin with the common assumption that natural philosophers and artisans formed radically distinct groups. In reality, these groups merged together through a diverse group of applied mathematics teachers,...

Offen ausgetragenen Lagerdebatten zwischen Ökonomen sind in Deutschland eher selten. Was hingegen öfters in Diskussionen oder in der Berichterstattung über Ökonomen mit-schwingt, ist eine Zuordnung in weltanschauliche Lager, etwa nach Schemata wie arbeit-geber-arbeitnehmernah oder auch...

We examine corporate publishing - i.e. firms' involvement in the production of scientific publications - with two research questions. First, why do firms publish? Through systematic literature review, we propose a framework of five incentives for firms to publish: (i) accessing external...

We study the impact of research collaborations in coauthorship networks on research output and how optimal funding can maximize it. Through the links in the collaboration network, researchers create spillovers not only to their direct coauthors but also to researchers indirectly linked to them....

Many science support mechanisms aim to combine excellent research with explicit expectations of societal impact. Temporary research centres such as "Centres of Excellence" and "Centre of Excellence in Research and Innovation" have become widespread. These centres are expected to produce research...
