Once a America; however, unlike worldwide games, Truco still concrete problem-solving experience is retrieved from requires a competitive Artificial Intelligence. Due to the memory, materialized as a case base in CBR, the agent limited availability of Truco data and the stochastic and reuses the decision made in the past to solve the current imperfect information characteristics of the game, creating problem. For a case-based agent to perform actions in a competitive models for a card game like Truco is a competitive game, that agent can initially use challenging task. To approach this problem, this work demonstrations of game actions performed by human investigates the generation of concrete Truco problem- players, where demonstrations of various kinds can be solving experiences through alternative techniques of recorded as cases in the case base [5]. -
Fear and Loathing of Technological Progress? Leveraging Science and Innovation for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development1
Fear and Loathing of Technological Progress? Leveraging Science and Innovation for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development1 Draft for Discussion. Nor for Quotation/Not for Circulation 1- A Brave New World? “The fear has even been expressed by some that technological change would in the near future not only cause increasing unemployment, but that eventually it would eliminate all but a few jobs, with the major portion of what we now call work being performed automatically by machines.”i It may come as a surprise that these words were written in 1966, in the report of the United States Presidential Commission on “Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress.” Established in 1964, the Commission had the following as a key recommendations to deal with the uneven benefits of technological change and with the future impact of automation on jobs: “Technological change and productivity are primary sources of our unprecedented wealth, but many persons have not shared in that abundance. We recommend that economic security be guaranteed by a floor under family income.”ii This recommendation is not that different, in either substance or motivation, from the current interest in establishing a universal basic income, which has been defended by some as a way of dealing with a future in which automation and artificial intelligence will render the need for labor redundant.iii Of course, any discourse on technological change is always ambivalent. There is no questioning that scientific progress and technological innovation have been underlying drivers of the improvements in the standards of living throughout the history of humanity. -

Socioeconomic Driving Forces of Scientific Research

This is a fundamental problem in the field of social studies of science. The paper confronts this question here by showing vital determinants of science to explain the sources of social power and wealth creation by nations. Firstly, this study suggests a new general definition of science and scientific research that synthetizes previous concepts and endeavors to extend them: Science discovers the root causes of phenomena to explain and predict them in a context of adaptation of life to new economic and social bases, whereas scientific research is a systematic process, applying methods of scientific inquiry, to solve consequential problems, to satisfy human wants, to take advantage of important opportunities and/or to cope with environmental threats. In particular, science and scientific research are driven by an organized social effort that inevitably reflect the concerns and interests of nations to achieve advances and discoveries that are spread to the rest of humankind. -

THE HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF ‘OPEN SCIENCE’ An Essay on Patronage, Reputation and Common Agency Contracting in the Scientific Revolution By Paul A. David Stanford University & the University of Oxford [email protected] or [email protected] First version: March 2000 Second version: August 2004 This version: December 2007 SUMMARY This essay examines the economics of patronage in the production of knowledge and its influence upon the historical formation of key elements in the ethos and organizational structure of publicly funded open science. The emergence during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries of the idea and practice of “open science" was a distinctive and vital organizational aspect of the Scientific Revolution. It represented a break from the previously dominant ethos of secrecy in the pursuit of Nature’s Secrets, to a new set of norms, incentives, and organizational structures that reinforced scientific researchers' commitments to rapid disclosure of new knowledge. -
Private Vices, Scientific Virtues: Using Economics to Think About Science
Private Vices, Scientific Virtues: Using Economics to Think about Science THOMAS C. LEONARD Department of Economics Fisher Hall Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 United States [email protected] phone: (609) 258-4036 fax: (609) 258-5561 1999 Private Vices, Scientific Virtues: Using Economics to Think about Science Abstract This paper makes a case for using economics to study science and its product, scientific knowledge. Traditional theories of science – due mainly to epistemology – imply that science is successful because scientists are selfless truth seekers, and because they rigidly adhere to a method. Post-modern theories of science – due mainly to sociology and literary theory – argue that science cannot be successful, because scientists are neither disinterested nor selfless, and because methodological rules derive from a faulty epistemology. An economic theory of science argues that, contra the traditional view, successful science doesn’t require the restrictive premises of Traditional theory of science, and that, as a result, contra the Post-modern view, successful science is not ruled out when those premises are. An economic theory of science accommodates both a realistic conception of scientific motivation and procedure, and the possibility of genuine scientific success. In so doing, it offers an intellectual means to address a central question in the theory of science: how do self-interested scientists, who have wordly goals, come to produce the collectively beneficial outcome of reliable scientific knowledge. Keywords Economics of science, philosophy of science, bounded rationality, institutions, scientific knowledge, economic methodology 2 1. Introduction This paper takes up a conundrum that immediately presents itself to the economist considering science. -

A Bibliometric Analysis of International Competitiveness (1983–2017)
sustainability Article A Bibliometric Analysis of International Competitiveness (1983–2017) María de las Mercedes Capobianco-Uriarte 1, María del Pilar Casado-Belmonte 1,* , Gema María Marín-Carrillo 1 and Eduardo Terán-Yépez 1 Department of Economics and Business, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain; [email protected] (M.d.l.M.C.-U.); [email protected] (G.M.M.-C.); [email protected] (E.T.-Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950-214-010 Received: 7 February 2019; Accepted: 22 March 2019; Published: 28 March 2019 Abstract: The objective of this paper is to determine the current state of scientific production regarding “competitiveness” in the international context through a bibliometric analysis. This study presents a review of 2293 documents published about competitiveness in the international context from the Scopus database (1983–2017). Two different processing software applications were used, Vosviewer and Scimat. Although very recent bibliometric analyses of the topic exist, the methodology applied in the search term is restricted due to the separate use of a single search combination “national competitiveness” or “international competitiveness”. For this work, three combinations of words with logical operators were used, TITLE-ABS-KEY (“international competitiveness”) OR (“national competitiveness”) OR (“export competitiveness”), thus managing to span the concept of competitiveness in the international context in a broader sense. Our results show that competitive research is in a period of high production. The most productive authors and journals are not the most cited on competitiveness. Only three countries stand out with the largest scientific production about this topic. The trend of the most recent research points to knowledge areas in environmental sciences. -
Bias Against Novelty in Science: a Cautionary Tale for Users of Bibliometric Indicators
Bias against Novelty in Science: A Cautionary Tale for Users of Bibliometric Indicators Jian Wang1, Reinhilde Veugelers2 and Paula Stephan3 1 KU Leuven 2 KU Leuven, Bruegel and CEPR 3 Georgia State University and NBER April 2016 ABSTRACT Research which explores unchartered waters has a high potential for major impact but also carries a higher uncertainty of having impact. Such explorative research is often described as taking a novel approach. This study examines the complex relationship between pursuing a novel approach and impact. Viewing scientific research as a combinatorial process, we measure novelty in science by examining whether a published paper makes first time ever combinations of referenced journals, taking into account the difficulty of making such combinations. We apply this newly developed measure of novelty to all Web of Science research articles published in 2001 across all scientific disciplines. We find that highly novel papers, defined to be those that make more (distant) new combinations, deliver high gains to science: they are more likely to be a top 1% highly cited paper in the long run, to inspire follow on highly cited research, and to be cited in a broader set of disciplines. At the same time, novel research is also more risky, reflected by a higher variance in its citation performance. In addition, we find that novel research is significantly more highly cited in “foreign” fields but not in its “home” field. We also find strong evidence of delayed recognition of novel papers and that novel papers are less likely to be top cited when using a short time window. -
