Are they likely to increase core-periphery divergence in Europe? 🚨 What is the positioning of the European economy in VCs that are key for the green and digital transition? 🚨Are EU economies implementing strategies of re-shoring and/or friend-shoring? What is their impact on economic and technological competitiveness? 🚨 Is the EU’s industrial policy agenda able to cope with the new global competitive scenario under the banner of technological sovereignty and protectionism?

Call for Papers 📢  𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 ‘𝐋𝐮𝐢𝐠𝐢 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬’   Keywords: ◾️ Luigi Pasinetti ◾️ Structural economic dynamics ◾️ Multisectoral theory ◾️ Input-output To celebrate the legacy of Prof. Pasinetti whilst acknowledging the challenges of the world we live in, this Special Issue calls for fresh assessments and extensions of Luigi Pasinetti's multisectoral theory of a growing economy subject to changing production coefficients (technical progress) and changing consumption coefficients (consumer learning according to Engel's Law). This special issue of Structural Change and Economic Dynamics (SCED) aims to publish contributions encouraging a critical evaluation and discussion of the research programme emerging from the modern theoretical analysis of structural change started by Luigi Pasinetti.

A topic that’s deep in my heart for awhile - Industrial policy in a fragmented world. Look forward to speaking about it at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and having a conversation with Prof Danny Quah on geoeconomics. Come if you happen to be in Singapore on March 6. Governments worldwide are shifting their economic policies from neoliberalism to industrial policies that prioritize security, self-sufficiency, and domestic sourcing. This change is a natural response to the new geopolitical realities in which rising nationalistic and protectionist sentiments have been fired up by the unsustainable increase in within-nation inequality after decades of hyper-globalization before 2008. In this talk, I will deep dive into the emergence of new globalization trends where the absence of some exceptional conditions had led to decades of hyper-globalization. I will also examine how this geoeconomic fragmentation has lowered global economic growth on the one hand, and created new opportunities for smaller states and companies on the other, thus increasing the multipolarity of the world. The talk will conclude by discussing how national industrial policy can be used to achieve a more sustainable and inclusive economy in a fragmented world.

"Krugman (born 1953) is an American economist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2008 for his contributions to new trade theory and new economic geography. (...) Starting in the late 1970s, Krugman rewrote the research agenda by incorporating imperfect competition in international trade models. (...) With increasing returns to scale, countries that are identical still have an incentive to trade with each other. Industries in specific countries concentrate on specific niche products, gaining economies of scale in those niches. (...) Krugman shows that even with no comparative advantage trade still occurs. Second, there is two-way trade in absolutely identical products. Third, such seemingly pointless trade can be mutually beneficial to the two countries, because the shift from monopoly to duopoly in each country brings prices closer to marginal costs. More generally, trade reduces domestic monopoly power and acts as a proxy for antitrust policy. This benefit remains even though some resources are being lost in costly transport, as long as the transport costs are not too large." --- #economics #economists #nobelprize #internationaltrade #economicgeography #historyofeconomicthought

I was honored to present at the International Scientific Conference "SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY – SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY," hosted by the University of Debrecen's Faculty of Economics. I introduced the concept of virtual labor migration, exploring its implications and the regulatory gaps that need attention. #SustainableEconomy #VirtualLaborMigration

I would like to share an entry in the New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics. I analyze how the discussion on structuralist thought in Latin America and its connection with innovation economics approaches is being revived, as well as the lines of research and researchers who work on https://lnkd.in/g-fvs7xA.
