    The general theme of the thirteenth International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society Conference, held during June 21th–24th, 2010 at Aalborg University in Denmark, was the exploration of the interrelated phenomena of innovation, organization, sustainability and crises. By addressing these phenomena an attempt was made to confront some of the underexplored parts the Schumpeterian legacy, but there was also room for new results concerning more well-developed parts of evolutionary economic

    Innovation and demand in industry dynamics: R&D, new products and profits

    The links between three interconnected elements of the Schumpeterian sources of economic change are explored, conceptually and empirically, and related to the role played by demand factors. First, we examine the commitment of industries to invest profits in cumulative R&D efforts; second, the ability of industries’ R&D to introduce to new products in markets; third, the impact of new products on entrepreneurial profits. We consider the nature and variety of innovative efforts-distinguishing in particular between strategies of technological and cost competiveness-and we introduce the role of demand in pulling technological change and supporting profits. We develop a simultaneous three-equation model and we test it at industry level-for 38 manufacturing and service sectors- on six European countries over two time periods from 1994 to 2006. The results show that the model effectively accounts for the dynamics of European industries and highlights the interconnections between the different factors contributing to growth

    This document defines and describes esameta.sty and its variant esametaps.sty. They are personal LATEX packages that largely consist of calls of other packages. These &#39;metapackages&#39; are selected to help the development of the author&#39;s complex book and paper projects-but some of his decisions might be of more general relevance. The use of the LATEX system of &#39;literate programming&#39; and the testing the compatibility of new commands and packages with the previously included parts of the metapackage should also be noticed.</p
