Abstract:
I introduce a minimum innovation size required for patents into a Schumpeterian growth model. We show that to satisfy the patentability requirement for minimum innovation size, each research and development (R&D) firm targets only industries in which the incumbent's technology is of sufficient obsolescence. This is because the technological gap between innovator and incumbent is greater in industries using older technologies. Although the increase in minimum innovation size reduces the number of industries targeted for R&D, it also increases the amount of R&D investment directed at those targeted industries. Consequently, introducing a minimum innovation size has a nonmonotonic (or negative) effect on the aggregate flow of innovations. Further, by deriving the endogenous long-run distribution of innovation size, we show that an increase in minimum innovation size reduces the mean innovation size. This implies that even if the patent office only grants patents for superior innovations, it causes innovators to produce generally inferior-quality innovations.

Abstract:
The body of research providing empirical support for the importance of innovation for rapid economic growth has left countries scrambling to cultivate innovative capabilities amongst their citizens. China’s emergence as the top filer of domestic patent applications in 2011 has been attributed to policies enacted by the Chinese leadership aimed at increasing innovative activity within the country. This paper finds support for the argument that government intervention has a stronger influence on innovation than free markets, for patterns in domestic patent activity in China and Malaysia seem to coincide with each government’s policies and incentives that explicitly target innovative activity. However, the debate on the quality of Chinese patents suggests the importance of implementing a more sustainable innovation development strategy over enforcing short-term quantitative targets. This paper discusses the role of education in serving as a more sustainable method in the development of a nation’s innovation trajectory.

Abstract:
The main purpose of the study is the analysis of factors obstructing the implementation of the innovations in industrial sector of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The implementation of innovative approaches in production processes necessitates major costs and it creates the problem about their minimization. The paper deals with the analysis of the characteristics of various types of innovation and their acceptance by various industrial enterprises. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for the innovation implementation shows the deficiency of multifaceted solutions for this issue. In the study, various factors having effect on the innovation level of industrial companies were generalized. The paper summarized arguments and counterarguments on analysis of implementation of different types of innovation in industrial operations. The difficulties faced on the way of implementation of innovations, the reasons behind them and measures to deal with them have been analyzed. Governmental, social, economic, and organizational incentives have been highlighted as the main motivator for the realization of various innovations in industrial sphere. The targets of this research are clarifying the relation between innovation types and features of industrial units and identifying the connection between obstacles for implementation of innovations in industrial sector. 95% significance level for mean of factors obstructing the realization of industrial innovations being accepted as more effective or less effective, and hypothesis testing for comparison of the mean of these factors have been prepared

Abstract:
This work investigates potential cost reduction trajectories of three emerging offshore renewable energy technologies (floating offshore wind, tidal stream, and wave) with respect to meeting ambitious cost targets set out in the Strategic Energy Technology Implementation Plans (SET-Plans) for Offshore Wind and Ocean Energy. A methodology is presented which calculates target costs for current early-stage devices, starting from the 2030 SET-Plan levelised cost targets. Component-based experience curves have been applied as part of the methodology, characterised through the comparative maturity level of each technology-specific cost centre. The resultant early-stage target costs are then compared with actual costs for current devices to highlight where further cost reduction is still required. It has been found that innovation and development requirements to reach these targets vary greatly between different technologies, based on their current level of technological maturity. Future funding calls and programmes should be designed with these variables in mind to support innovative developments in offshore renewables. The method presented in this paper has been applied to publicly available cost data for emerging renewable technologies and is fully adaptable to calculate the innovation requirements for specific early-stage renewable energy devices.

Abstract:
The article explains what an innovative activity in the economy involves and unfolds how the main concepts of theory of innovation are applied into the agricultural sector. It is pointed out that agrarian innovation is the final stage of fostering novelties in the agricultural sector (plant varieties, livestock breeds, cultivation technologies, etc), which has resulted in economic, social, ecological benefits and expanded reproduction. The study reveals that applying the main concepts of theory of innovation into agriculture has its specific features, namely: integrating innovative technologies into processes occurring in the nature; producing living organisms, which can be objectives and targets of innovation. The author identifies the factors hindering the introduction of innovations in the agricultural sector. It has been found that the lack of financial support and instability of legislation in the country are the root causes. A lack of necessary information and new ideas are yet other prime obstacles which prevent innovation processes in agricultural units. It is demonstrated that an innovative activity in proactive enterprises is a key factor for effective growth and a sustainable increase in agricultural production. It contributes to positive changes in production technology and production structure, a significant shift in motivation. The results indicate that some innovative products such as new varieties and hybrids of agricultural plants, new livestock and poultry breeds, machines and mechanisms, tools and equipment, modern means of production, etc. are of high demand on the market of innovative products. It is claimed that agricultural studies play an important role in meeting the demand since they accelerate the growth of this field by generating and introducing innovations. The author suggests the following steps for strengthening innovation policies in agricultural units: bringing in new competitive technologies in crop and livestock production; introducing high-yielding breeds and crop varieties / hybrids resistant to diseases and climate change effects; applying bio-technologies which increase production of new healthy products; improving means and methods of land cultivation; cleaning and storing raw materials; using energy-efficient technologies and ecological innovations, that make it possible to increase yields and productivity, minimize losses and sustain the environment.

Abstract:
This paper examines whether climate change policies will induce innovation in environmentally friendly technologies. The model demonstrates that a tighter emissions cap will reduce the scale of fossil fuel usage and that this will diminish incentives to improve fossil fuel efficiencies. In addition, such policies may stimulate the relative demand for innovations that improve the efficiency of alternative energy but carbon scarcity may diminish innovation incentives overall. Only for technologies that directly abate carbon pollution will there be an unambiguously positive impact on innovation. These results have implications for climate change targets and the design of climate change policy. (JEL O31, Q54, Q55, Q58)

Abstract:
The focal point of the paper is the study of one of the actual challenges of the modern educational philosophy, i.e., the problem of innovations in education. This point encompasses the definition of targets and prospects describing the development of an educational environment. The focus of the paper is the essence of innovations in an educational process. We proceed from the idea that it is critical to outline the reasons that determine innovations. We believe that they emerge as necessary changes in a traditional educational paradigm and the model of the educational system. Of much importance is the understanding of the goals and the prospects of innovative educational processes. Therefore, we describe the goals, methods and means of modern educational innovation policy. Our major finding is that they stem from global economy’s challenges emerging in the conditions of postindustrial society both at global and local levels. Consequently, education, as a unique resource for the development of society, is a subject for transformation of its structure and content. Another important finding is the critical role of innovative education as the major shaper of the relations that will determine the future of our civilization. This future depends on the personality that originates from the new educational system.The authors’ conclusions emerge as a combination of empirical facts from the sphere of Russian and foreign educational experiences, and as the provisions of selected educational concepts and strategies.

Abstract:
La production cyclique d'adénosine monophosphate (AMPc) régule certains aspects de la fonction mitochondriale des cardiomyocytes de rongeurs, tels que la production d'ATP, la consommation d'oxygène, les importations de calcium et la transition de perméabilité mitochondriale (MPT), mais le contrôle de ce pool d'AMPc n'est pas bien connu. Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous avons étudié l'expression, la localisation et l'activité de plusieurs enzymes dégradant l'AMPc, les phosphodiestérases (PDEs), dans des mitochondries cardiaques isolées de rongeurs. L'expression de la PDE2 a été principalement détectée dans les mitochondries sous-sarcologiques, et l'activité de la PDE2 stimulée par le GMPc était plus importante que celle de la PDE3 et de la PDE4; leurs activités ont ensuite été confirmées dans les cardiomyocytes de rats nouveau-nés par analyse FRET en temps réel. De plus, l’inhibition pharmacologique ou la surexpression cardiaque spécifique de la respiration mitochondriale modulée par la PDE2, la perte de potentiel de la membrane mitochondriale, le MPT et l’importation de calcium. Ainsi, la dégradation de l'AMPc par les PDE représente un nouveau mécanisme de régulation de la fonction mitochondriale et devient une cible potentielle dans le traitement des maladies cardiovasculaires.En outre, l'amélioration récente du traitement anticancéreux entraîne une augmentation du nombre de patients survivants, mais un risque de cardiotoxicité à long terme. Ainsi, dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, nous avons identifié des molécules cardioprotectrices à partir de bibliothèques chimiques en développant un test de criblage à haut débit. Nous avons identifié 6 molécules à effets puissants et spécifiqies et les avons validés dans 3 modèles cellulaires. Nous avons étudié les mécanismes d'action de chaque molécule en utilisant l’extinction par siARN, l'analyse par western blot, l'imagerie par fluorescence et les analyses métaboliques en temps réel. Trois molécules pourraient entrer rapidement dans les études précliniques et cliniques en association avec des agents de radiothérapie ou des agents chimiothérapeutiques pour le développement thérapeutique, tandis que les trois autres molécules pourraient nécessiter une optimisation chimique supplémentaire
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production regulates certain aspects of mitochondria function in rodent cardiomyocytes, such as ATP production, oxygen consumption, calcium imports and mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), but how this cAMP pool is controlled is not well known. In the first part of this thesis, we investigated the expression, localization and activity of several cAMP-degrading enzymes, phosphodiesterases (PDEs), in isolated rodent cardiac mitochondria. PDE2 expression was mainly detected in subsarcolemmal mitochondria, and cGMP-stimulated PDE2 activity was largest than PDE3 and PDE4, their activities were further confirmed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by real time FRET analysis. Moreover, the pharmacological inhibition or the cardiac-specific overexpression of PDE2 modulated mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial membrane potential loss, MPT and calcium import. Thus, cAMP degradation by PDEs represents a new regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial function, and becomes a potential target in cardiovascular diseases therapy.In addition, the recent improvement of anticancer treatment results in an increase in surviving patients, but with a risk of long-term cardiotoxicity. Thus, in the second part of this thesis, we identified cardioprotective molecules from chemical libraries by developing a high throughput screening assay. We identified 6 potent and specific hits and validated them in 3 cellular models. We investigated the mechanisms of actions of each molecule and their cellular impact by using siRNA silencing, western-blot analysis, fluorescent imagery and real-time metabolic analyses. Three molecules could enter rapidly in preclinical and clinical studies in combination with radiation or chemotherapeutic agents for therapeutic development, while other three molecules may require further chemical optimization

Abstract:
Lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors characterized by the proliferation of lymphocytes predominantly in lymphoid structures but also in extranodal tissues. More than 90% of patients are afflicted by lymphomas of B-cell origin. The current World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors categorizes B-cell neoplasms in more than 40 distinct disease entities, according to a combination of the morphology, immunophenotype, genetic, molecular and clinical features. Each entity has its own clinical course and requires specific treatments. The characterization of activated signaling pathways involved in survival and proliferation, together with the development of a wide pharmacological armamentarium against cancer, have facilitated the bench-to-bedside translation of new targeted therapies in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL). These novel therapies include two of the most relevant drugs lately approved: the anti-apoptotic agent venetoclax and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib. One major hurdle to their successful application is the rise of drug resistance. Resistance to therapy is observed in many cases of B-cell malignancies. This phenomenon significantly limits the utility of the current therapeutic strategies, and remains a substantial challenge for the clinical management of patients with advanced cancers. Resistance comes in two flavors: intrinsic resistance (also known as innate or de novo resistance) and acquired resistance, resulting from the clonal evolution of resistant variants. With this concept in mind, in this thesis we have explored new approaches to overcome the development of drug resistance. Venetoclax (ABT-199) is a first-in-class BH3 mimetic, FDA-approved for use in patients with R/R del17p chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In the clinical setting, it has demonstrated high response rates and good toxicity profiles in other subtypes of relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We proposed a model of double hit lymphoma (DHL) resistance to ABT-199 in which the capacity of CPI203 to regulate the transcriptome of the cells could help to circumvent this problem. In ABT-199 sensitive cells, the BH3 mimetic acts by displacing BIM from BCL-2 complexes, allowing the de-repression and/or direct activation of BAX and leading to an activation of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. In DHL cells, a compensatory upregulation of BFL-1 would bind and inactivate the pool of BIM proteins released from BCL-2 by ABT-199, avoiding MOMP and preserving cell survival. CPI203 primes cells to death by decreasing BFL-1 and increasing BIM protein levels, and its combination with ABT-199 allows to tip the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling toward induction of cell death. This concept provides a new insight in the proposed mechanisms of resistance to BH3- mimetics in NHL cell lines, where MCL-1 and BCL-XL have been proposed as the major determinants of drug sensitivity and acquired resistance. On the other hand, ibrutinib is a BTK inhibitor approved for first-line therapy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, as well as for the treatment of some relapsed/refractory B-NHL. Despite its high level of clinical activity, acquiring of mutations or re-wiring of the BCR pathway to retain the downstream signaling appears to be a common mechanism of resistance. The inhibition of more than one BCR kinase might be useful in B-NHL cases that are resistant to the sole inhibition of BTK. We describe the compound IQS019 as a new BCR kinase inhibitor able to counteract both constitutive and ligand-dependent activation of the BCR pathway. Its capacity to inhibit the three upstream BCR kinases, BTK, SYK and LYN, confer an advantage over the inhibition of BTK alone by ibrutinib, in in vitro and in vivo models of B-NHL, being of special importance for the treatment of those patients with non-canonical NF-κB activation, who are low responders to ibrutinib. Therefore, the development of innovative therapeutic approaches that permit to overcome drug resistance opens a window to important therapeutic advances in the treatment of B-NHL.
Las neoplasias linfoides de célula B constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de tumores caracterizados por la proliferación de linfocitos B. Cada entidad clínica posee unas características particulares y requiere de un tratamiento específico. A pesar de los importantes avances terapéuticos, la supervivencia a largo plazo sigue siendo baja y precisa de un desarrollo constante de nuevas aproximaciones terapéuticas. Uno de los mayores problemas asociados a la respuesta a fármacos son las resistencias. En muchos casos estas resistencias se deben a cambios en proteínas diana o a la modulación compensatoria de otras proteínas o vías de señalización. El conocimiento de estos cambios será de gran importancia para poder encontrar aproximaciones terapéuticas que permitan eliminar estas resistencias. El linfoma doble-hit es un linfoma agresivo caracterizado por su baja respuesta a la quimioterapia estándar. Entre los múltiples agentes terapéuticos específicos actualmente en desarrollo encontramos el inhibidor de BCL-2, venetoclax. El venetoclax ha demostrado ser efectivo en varios subtipos de linfoma pero su uso conlleva el problema de la aparición de resistencias. Varios estudios han destacado el papel de proteínas de la familia BCL-2 en este proceso. Nuestros resultados indican que la regulación positiva de BFL-1 es uno de los factores clave en el desarrollo de resistencias al fármaco. Su regulación mediante el CPI203, un modulador epigenético, resulta en una sensibilización al venetoclax, tanto in vitro como in vivo. Por otro lado, la señalización de los receptores de células B (BCR) contribuye a la patogénesis de las neoplasias malignas de células B y ha surgido como una nueva diana terapéutica en varios tipos de linfoma. Así, los inhibidores de quinasas de la vía del BCR constituyen una estrategia terapéutica prometedora. Dentro de este grupo de fármacos destaca el inhibidor de Btk ibrutinib, que ha conseguido esperanzadoras tasas de respuesta pero que también se ve afectado por la aparición de resistencias. Nuestro trabajo muestra que el compuesto IQS019, inhibidor de varias quinasas de la vía del BCR (Btk, Syk y Lyn), posee un potente efecto antitumoral y permite escapar a las resistencias observadas al ibrutinib. Así, supone un buen tratamiento para varios subtipos de linfomas de células B, incluyendo aquellos poco sensibles a los inhibidores de quinasa de BCR actuales.

Full text
Abstract:
The central focus of this study is to explore how three primary school teachers were implementing Hong Kong's Target-Oriented Curriculum (TOC) in their lower primary English classrooms. TOC is a task-based, process-oriented innovation, introduced from 1995 onwards. The study involved a case study approach by which teachers' perceptions and behaviours were analysed during the period of a single academic year. Data collection methods for the study comprised mainly classroom observation and interviews. The former involved the study of five or six consecutive English lessons for each teacher in three separate cycles, the latter involved six semi-structured interviews per teacher. The emphasis was on qualitative data and analysis, although quantitative classroom and attitude scale data were also collected. The main findings from the study were as follows. Teacher A was positively oriented towards TOC, had a sound understanding and was implementing TOC principles to a high degree. Teacher B was somewhat neutrally disposed towards the innovation, was only in the process of developing an understanding of it, and was not implementing it as much as teacher A. Teacher C was very positively oriented towards TOC, had a sound understanding of its principles but was only able to implement it to a similar extent to teacher B. The main significance of the study includes: insights into research methodology derived from the execution of the study; confirmation and development of the theory of the management of change; insights into the classroom implementation of the key TOC classroom principles, task-based learning and catering for individual learner differences; and implications on the cultural appropriateness of TOC for the Hong Kong context.

Full text
Abstract:
Polymeric nanoparticles were designed, synthesized, and loaded with metal ions to explore the therapeutic potential for transition metals other than platinum found in cisplatin. Nanoparticles were synthesized to show the potential for polymer based vectors. Metal loading and release were characterized via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and Elemental Analysis. Targeting was attempted with the expectation of observed increased particle uptake by cancer cells with flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Results demonstrated that a variety of metals could be loaded to the nano-sized carriers in an aqueous environment, and that the release was pH-dependent. Expected increased targeting was inconsistent. The toxicity of these particles was measured in cancer cells where significant toxicity was observed in vitro via dosing of high copper-loaded nanoparticles and slight toxicity was observed in ruthenium-loaded nanoparticles. No significant toxicity was observed in cells dosed with metal-free nanoparticles. Future research will focus on ruthenium loaded polymeric nanoparticles with different targeting ligands dosed to different cell lines for the aim of increased uptake and decreased cancer cell viability.

Tawakkoli, Sammy-Sebastian, and Leo Ekbom. "Longboards." Thesis, Karlstad University, Division for Engineering Sciences, Physics and Mathematics, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-1867.

Full text
Abstract:

”Longboards” är ett examensarbete utfört av Leo Ekbom och Sammy-Sebastian Tawakkoli för innovations- och designingejörsprogrammet vid fakulteten för teknik och naturvetenskap på Karlstads Universitet. Uppdragsgivaren är Space Production AB, projektägare är Dan Edanius, art director och projektledare på företaget. Ett av företagets projekt var våren 2008 att producera Slalom Skateboarding VM och med anknytning till detta växte ett examensarbete fram.

 

Space Production AB började som ett montersnickeri men har idag utvecklats till ett företag som driver fullständiga utställnings- och eventprojekt. Företaget tillhandahåller allt från idéskiss till montering och servning även då huvudsysslan ligger i att producera, installera och lagra utformning från annan part.

 

Uppgiften var att ta fram en produktserie innehållande tre modeller av longbaords med bred spridning. Produkterna skulle vara unika och nischade men ändå säljbara och tillhöra ett övre segment av marknaden. Därtill gavs lite friare händer i att ta fram en rad vilda koncept som idébank för senare projekt.

 

Genom en djupgående researchfas, där information rörande materialkunskap, marknad, målgrupper och kultur, mynnade projektet ut i en kreativ designprocess. Målgruppsanalysen lade grunden till en rad referenskunder vars behov inspirerade och analyserades. Två skilda idegenereringstillfällen lade grunden till en kategorisering där åtta starka koncept presenterades för en sammansatt styrgrupp.

 

Arbetet resulterade i tre längre utvecklade koncept vilka har potential att bredda den befintliga marknaden för longboard försäljning samt en idébank för framtida utveckling av produkter.


”Longboards” is a degree project in the Innovations- and design engineering program at Karlstad University. The job requestor is Space Production AB with Dan Edanius, Art director and senior project manager, as the project owner.

 

Space Production AB started out as a showcase carpentry company but has today evolved into a company that operates complete exhibitions and events. The company’s main business is to produce, install and store branded environments designed by another party but also supplies everything from idea sketches to assemblage and service. One of Space projects spring 2008 was the production of Slalom Skateboarding World Championships and it was through this a degree project was created.

 

The task was to create a diverse product line containing three models of longboards. The products would be unique and aimed at a niche market but yet be sellable and appeal to the upper segment buyer. Further the opportunity to create more wild concepts that could be used in future projects was given. 

 

An extensive research on materials, market, target group and culture, resulted in a creative design process. Through a target group analysis a number of reference consumers were created. Their needs worked as inspiration and was analysed. Two separate sessions of idea generating were the fundament of a categorization that eventually resulted in eight strong concepts that was presented to the management group.

 

The project has resulted in three developed concepts that could potentially broaden the existing longboard market as well as a band of ideas that could be used for inspiration of future projects.

Abstract:
AbstractCommunication activities play a pivotal role in the management of research projects, especially those involving several partners and stakeholders from different countries. The Interreg Alpine Space HEALPS2 project relies on a transnational and transversal approach to improve the framework conditions and tools for alpine health tourism, and therefore proposes a communication strategy based on specific objectives. These objectives guide the communication activities at an internal and external level, with the latter being declined for different targets and stakeholders. In this Chapter, the communication activities are described, starting from the general and specific objectives-oriented approach, to the local realization. The general strategy and the analysis are illustrated, then are demonstrated through a regional use case—the Parco Regionale Alpe Veglia-Alpe Devero and Parco Regionale Alta Valle Antrona.

Full text
Abstract:
Innovation, derived from the Latin word "innovatus", means to turn an idea into a product that can be sold or developed (goods or services). Tourism is one of the greatest global industries, improving according to the continuous changes in tourism trends and consumer preferences. Thus, it is this need to change that makes the concept of innovation a vital concern for tourism firms of all sizes. Because there is a competition between countries, regions, and cities to attract more tourists. In this context, hotels try to differentiate themselves in order to stay alive and have competitive advantage. This is only possible by conducting innovative activities. Innovation in tourism has many faces and can include such as product, market, and process. This study has been conducted to find out which innovation strategies tourism businesses prefer and which innovations they are using. Within the scope of the research, the data was collected via a questionnaire from 52 hotels by choosing the easy sampling method. According to the findings, tourism businesses implement service innovation. However, decisions for innovation practices are decided by general managers. Furthermore, informing the staff in accordance with the innovation targets makes the highest contribution to the practices. Finally, although research and development (R&D) is the basis of innovation practices, it has been determined that most of the tourism businesses taking part in the research do not have such a department. Finally marketing mix and quality standards should be aligned with the innovation approach.

Full text
Abstract:
While North American pipeline integrity codes and regulations provide substantive prescriptive or goal setting objectives, there currently is not a consistent measurement approach for defining the levels of safety achieved. Standardized targets would drive consistent operator safety culture, enhance transparency for the public, and focus industry collaboration on technologies and innovation. This paper provides the perspective of an operator on current status of where the pipeline industry is related to safety targets and social license in addition to where the pipeline industry could go in this arena. The intent is a ‘call to action’ for the leaders in the pipeline industry to collaborate on the establishment of the technical systems which define the current industry safety condition, the targets that must be achieved, and to show that the industry is innovating for further improvements; elements considered to be important to the achievement of social license. A review of the current practices as well as a framework for industry advancement and advocacy will be explained. This will include an examination of safety measurement systems from around the world including other notable industries such as aviation and nuclear. Several measurement models will be highlighted including qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative. Importantly, this paper will highlight how operators, regulators, and codes organizations can link together for this common purpose and contribute to “social license”.

Sillah, Bukhari. Country Diagnostic Study – United Arab Emirates. Islamic Development Bank Institute, November 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.55780/rp21002.

Full text
Abstract:
The Country Diagnostic Study (CDS) for United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) uses the Hausmann-Rodrik-Velasco growth diagnostics model to identify the binding constraints being faced in its quest for higher economic growth and make recommendations to relax these constraints. Hence, the findings of the CDS can help the Islamic Development Bank in identifying areas where it can have a greater impact and provide an evidence basis to support the development of the Member Country Partnership Strategy. U.A.E.’s development journey has been painstakingly crafted over time, with the latest being Vision 2021. Launched in 2010 and in the aftermath of the global financial crisis (GFC), Vision 2021 was designed to place the U.A.E. among the best nations in the world. It has achieved several targets under the competitive knowledge pillar of the Vision, but some key targets related to economic growth, innovation, and knowledge workers are yet to be fully realized. This is because growth has been low and inadequate with relatively low private investment since the 2008–2009 GFC, leading to a lower than potential real GDP trend. To bring in private investment and improve growth, both quantity and quality of human capital may need to be scaled up through improving the education system and spending on research and development to support industry-university collaboration on innovations. Efficient institutional governance in the areas of corruption control, regulatory quality and conducive bureaucracy is necessary for the vibrant functioning of the private sector.

Full text
Abstract:
Business failure is a natural part of the development lifecycle. In a healthy economy, the formations and dissolutions of small firms drive innovation through the process of creative destruction. However, an excessive level of involuntary closures lowers both economic mobility and community social capital. We partnered with the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office (NCSOS) to identify factors that might be driving involuntary firm closures using administrative data. This analysis outlines our recommendation to use an exploratory open-ended survey instrument which targets dissolved firm owners. We believe the methodology is indicated due to the inherent challenges of getting survey data from this population. With a relatively small number of responses, an open-ended survey would allow for a hybrid-thematic analysis framework which combines a data-driven inductive approach with a deductive theoretical (a priori) template of codes. Our recommended analysis lens complements phenomenological qualitative inquiry by connecting the respondent’s open-ended answers to theories in the business failure literature.

Full text
Abstract:
Innovation has been shown to be a key factor in determining a country’s competitiveness and economic growth potential. Through investments in education and research and development, many developing countries have tried to avoid the “middle income trap” of stagnation by working to create high-value employment opportunities. To better understand country-level readiness to innovate, we have compiled a set of publicly available data indicators and created a data tool to illustrate innovation capabilities and infrastructure by country. Our approach builds on and advances existing national innovation metrics by constructing transparent, publicly sourced indicators that emphasize changes over time and interrelationships between different indicators, as opposed to creating simple indices across groups of indicators. This occasional paper is targeted to an applied audience, explaining the methods used to assemble the data, an overview of the indicators, practical applications of the data, summary statistics, and data limitations. The data are not intended to be a tool for providing answers about innovation, but rather a starting point for future work including market landscaping, country-level diagnostics, and qualitative protocols for research.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper provides an international overview of the mining global value chain (GVC) and its most recent transformations and trends, focusing on Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. The study uses international trade data and patent and scientific publications data. By using trade in value added, we first investigate the role of those countries in the international mining trade, and their specialization, participation, and position in the mining GVC for the period 2005-15. The analysis is carried out for both mining products and mining-related services, and also looks at the contribution of services to mining exports. Second, we analyze the evolution of innovative activity and the direction of technological change in the mining sector over the past 40 years by looking at patent applications, both internationally and with attention to the three target countries. We also provide an overview of, and some insights on, knowledge flow in the mining sector based on scientific production.
