Structural Change and Economic Dynamics STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND ECONOMIC DYNAMICS AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 0954-349X DESCRIPTION . Structural Change and Economic Dynamics publishes articles about theoretical and applied, historical and methodological aspects of structural change in economic systems. The journal publishes work analyzing dynamics and structural change in economic, technological, institutional and behavioral patterns. Articles might examine the effects of the incorporation of new technologies and infrastructures, aspects of international economic integration and development, the changing configuration of employment and income distribution, interdependence between environmental and economic change, instability and crisis. An important aim is to facilitate communication among researchers who are actively engaged in the study of the various aspects of structural change and the dynamics of economic systems from an analytical or policy point of view. SCED encourages articles that apply econometric and statistical techniques to the above themes. The journal also publishes pure theoretical research on the structural dynamics of economic systems, particularly in the fields of multisectoral, complex and dynamical analysis. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

  • Rethinking How Public Value Is Created, Nurtured and Evaluated
    Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose Rethinking how public value is created, nurtured and evaluated. Picking winners Picking the willing Outsourcing Capacity building Cost beneft Dynamic spillovers De-risking Welcoming uncertainty Fixing markets Co-creating and shaping Levelling the playing feld Tilting towards a direction Entrepreneurial societies need entrepreneurial states The UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) was founded by Professor Mariana Mazzucato, author of the highly-acclaimed The Entrepreneurial State: debunking public vs. private sector myths. IIPP aims to develop a path-breaking framework for creating, nurturing and evaluating public value in order to achieve economic growth that is more innovation-led, inclusive and sustainable. IIPP will lead a debate about the direction of economic growth and governments’ use of mission-oriented policies to confront the world’s most urgent challenges: from climate change to inequality and the problems facing ageing societies. Our work will feed into policies on innovation, fnancial reform, institutional change and sustainable development. A cornerstone of IIPP’s research is that markets are not created out of thin air: they are outcomes of the interactions between different actors in the economy, operating in the public, private and voluntary sectors. In this context, public policy is not just about fxing market failures, but about actively co-creating and shaping markets. Our teaching and research programmes will help public organisations refocus themselves to become more mission-led, driven by public purpose, and able to welcome and manage the explorative and risk-taking processes that structural change and transformation require. Policy-makers focusing on public versus private are asking the wrong question.

  • Public Financing of Innovation: from Market Fixing to Mission Oriented Market Shaping
    Public financing of innovation: from market fixing to mission oriented market shaping Mariana Mazzucato* and Gregor Semieniuk** *Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, University College London **SOAS, University of London NOTE: This is a background paper for the session on Innovation, investment and productivity, ECB conference, Sintra— borrowed heavily from Mazzucato, M. and Semieniuk, G. (2017) “Public financing of innovation: new questions”, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, Volume 33 (1): 24–48 https://academic.oup.com/oxrep/article/33/1/24/2972707/Public- financing-of-innovation-new-questions Abstract Economic theory justifies policy when there are concrete market failures. The article shows how in the case of innovation, successful policies that have led to radical innovations have been more about market shaping and creating through direct and pervasive public financing, rather than market fixing. The paper reviews and discusses evidence for this in three key areas: (1) the presence of finance from public sources across the entire innovation chain; (2) the concept of ‘mission oriented’ policies that have created new technological and industrial landscapes; and (3) the entrepreneurial and lead investor role of public actors, willing and able to take on extreme risks, independent of the business cycle. We further illustrate these three characteristics for the case of clean technology, and discuss how a market-creating and shaping perspective may be useful for understanding the financing of transformative innovation needed for

  • Place-Based Missions: Mariana Mazzucato in Discussion with Finn Williams
    Place-based Missions: Mariana Mazzucato in discussion with Finn Williams Online Event 26.03.2021 Public Practice is a not-for-profit social enterprise with a mission to build the public sector’s capacity to improve the quality and equality of everyday places. To close out Public Practice’s Spring 2021 Forum Finn Williams was joined by Mariana Mazzucato, Professor in the Economics of Innovation & Public Value at University College London (UCL) and founding Director of the Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose (IIPP), established, like Public Practice, in 2017. The discussion explored a shared understanding of the role of the public sector in creating value at a local scale. Informed by Mariana’s new book ‘Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism’, the conversation covered IIPP and Public Practice’s common approach of building the agency of those working in the public interest to shape the institutions that shape our places. A recording of the event is available here. FINN WILLIAMS (FW): I first came across Mariana’s work back in 2013 around the time I first started developing the idea of what later became Public Practice. Her book, the Entrepreneurial State, really helped to stretch the ambition for Public Practice, and made our mission within the world of planning in the UK feel part of a wider movement with the potential to do no less than reshape the economy and society. Mariana established the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) within UCL Built Environment faculty the Bartlett, around the same time Pooja Agrawal and I co-founded Public Practice, and I’ve been lucky enough to take part as a Visiting Professor of Practice.

Big Tech monopolies and their increasingly anticompetitive behavior posits risks for competition, technological innovation and consumer welfare. This ranges from price discrimination, limiting consumer choices to the unethical use of data. The particular nature of information technology, with its network effects and negligible marginal costs, incentivizes and facilitates predatory market practices making antitrust analysis in this industry extremely complex.

  • Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy and Dynamic Capabilities in the Public Sector
    Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose Mission-oriented innovation policy and dynamic capabilities in the public sector Rainer Kattel Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Governance Deputy Director, UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose Mariana Mazzucato Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value Director, UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose Working Paper IIPP WP 2018-05 July 2018 About the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose The UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) aims to develop a new framework for creating, nurturing and evaluating public value in order to achieve economic growth that is more innovation-led, inclusive and sustainable. We intend this framework to inform the debate about the direction of economic growth and the use of mission-oriented policies to confront social and technological problems. Our work will feed into innovation and industrial policy, financial reform, institutional change, and sustainable development. A key pillar of IIPP's research is its understanding of markets as outcomes of the interactions between different actors. In this context, public policy should not be seen as simply fixing market failures but also as actively shaping and co-creating markets. Re-focusing and designing public organisations around mission-led, public purpose aims will help tackle the grand challenges facing the 21st century. IIPP is housed in The Bartlett, a leading Global Faculty of the Built Environment at UCL, with its radical thinking about space, design and sustainability.
