Greening of Economic Development: The Next Great Transformation: Conclusions and Pathways to the Future
No full textThe Handbook frames the process of the greening of economic development as the next major transformation of the global economy, demonstrated using empirical evidence across frameworks, regions, and sectors in the thirty chapters as finalized. The transformation entails a comprehensive restructuring of the world order, encompassing (i) a 100 per cent exit from fossil fuels; (ii) a comprehensive shift in resource flows from linearity to circularity; and (iii) a comprehensive shift to green finance with bonds and equities playing a key role. The new paradigm of the greening of economic development has economic and technological drivers that generate optimism regarding its eventual supersession of the fossil fuel industrial system. But what continues to be lacking is the institutional support needed at a global scale and immediacy to overcome the inevitable barriers to be encountered. This concluding chapter wraps up the discussion by arguing that greening is most likely to emerge where states are driving change; in emerging industrial giants, green growth may be viewed as an essential pathway to future wealth generation that does not cost the earth
Greening of Economic Development: An Introduction
No full textAs opposed to traditional accounts of economic development, framed in terms of stocks of available energy (fossil fuels), resources, and finance, a new paradigm is emerging based on greening as a viable strategy. This is based on restorative strategies such as threefold greening of energy (renewables and renewable fuels like hydrogen); circulation of resources; and greening of financial instruments. This chapter sets the scene for the Handbook, which draws on international specialist expertise to provide a comprehensive overview of this green industrial revolution that is needed to stave off ecological collapse. It demonstrates how the shift in energy, resource flows, and finance is a process rather than an endpoint; that it is compatible with economic growth and structural change; that it is driven by economic drivers such as cost reductions generated by experience curves; and that at the vast scale and rapid pace required it calls for a Global Green New Deal and institutional support that may be compared with the Roosevelt New Deal and its creation of an Arsenal for Democracy. The Handbook is based on empirical evidence and offers ways forward for emerging economies as much as for the developed world
National innovative capacity in East Asia
No full textThe innovative capacity of a country is the basic driving force behind its economic performance; it provides a measure of the
institutional structures and support systems that sustain innovative activity. Recentwork, such as that by Furman, Porter and Stern
(FP&S) frames a concept of national innovation capacity measured by patenting rates, and estimates its institutional sources for a
group of 17 OECD countries. In this present paper, we extend and modify the FP&S approach by applying it to five “latecomer”
countries from East Asia, none of which was included in the FP&S study. First, we reproduce the FP&S methodology in relation
to the five East Asian countries, gathering comparable data over a comparable (but truncated) time period. While our results are
in broad agreement with the findings of FP&S, we document some important differences for latecomer East Asian economies: a
smaller number of national factors matter, and there seems to be an important (though subtle) role for public R&D expenditure.
These findings have important implications for successful catch-up strategies.We supplement these aggregate findings with firmand
institution-level data from Taiwan, where the breakthrough to innovation has arguably proceeded farther than in any other
East Asian country. In these ways, we shed light on the process through which a latecomer country is able to close the gap with
the more developed countries, by channeling resources towards the raising of its innovative capacity

Dragon multinationals: New players in 21 st century globalization
No full textThis review article starts from the question: how does the global business system appear to a challenger firm, and how have challenger Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) from formerly peripheral areas such as the Asia Pacific established themselves successfully, against the sometimes fierce resistance of incumbents? To answer this question, the review develops an argument concerning the pluralistic character of the process of globalization, as contrasted with the conventional account that sees global processes creating uniformity and convergence. This alternative account is based on a review of the experiences of latecomer and newcomer MNEs, particularly those from the Asia Pacific—such as Acer, Ispat International, Li & Fung and the Hong Leong Group—that are dubbed “Dragon Multinationals.” I argue that the innovative features that these MNEs share, such as their accelerated internationalization, strategic innovation and organizational innovation, fit particularly well with the characteristics of the emergent global economy as one of complex inter-firm linkages. The core proposition of the review is that this complementarity between the characteristics of the emergent global economy and latecomer and newcomer strategic and organizational innovations is what drives the remarkable success of these Asia Pacific firms in establishing themselves as serious international players. Such a proposition carries implications for the process of globalization as well as for the dominant frameworks utilized in International Business. The review argues that Dragon Multinationals adopt a different perspective to the resources accessed through internationalization, and that this requires a rethink of the criteria normally utilized in resource-based accounts of strategy. The challenger firm internationalizing in order to access resources also poses a challenge to the dominant OLI (ownership, locational, internalization) account of multinational advantage. Thus it is argued that the question posed at the outset goes to the core of the IB frameworks, and thereby counts as one of the ‘big questions’ that should guide research in IB in the 21 st century.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
