The Roots of the New Economy: An Institutional Perspective
No full textThe factors behind the emergence of the New Economy are still poorly understood. In this article, Pascal Petit from CEPREMAP and CNRS in France provides an institutional perspective on the developmental phases or roots of this New Economy. He analyzes the structural, institutional and organizational changes associated with the New Economy and based on these developments assesses whether an acceleration of productivity growth, the touchstone of the New Economy, is likely to occur in Europe and whether it can be sustained in the United States. Petit identifies three structural factors as preconditions for the development of the New Economy: the rise in educational levels; the internationalization of economic activity; and the development and diffusion of ICTs. He argues that these preconditions have been established in developed economies and that institutional changes such as product and labour market deregulation have served as catalysts for growth. He then looks at the role of work practices and organizational relations, such as inter-firm partnerships, that build on structural and institutional changes to foster the emergence of the New Economy. Based on the fundamental changes that have already occurred, he concludes that an acceleration in productivity in Europe is likely, as is a continuation of strong productivity gains in the United States.New Economy, Post-1995, Productivity, Growth, Acceleration, Institutions, Knowledge, Skills, Information, Openness, ICT, Information , Communication, Technology, Deregulation, Organization, Asymmetry, Structural, Institutional, Organizational, Changes, Change

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Well being in Europe and in the world to 2030
Full text linkThe paper focuses on long run trends in different dimensions of well being in Europe and in the World. The paper contains as well different projections for some well being dimensions up to 2030. The paper concludes with an outline of policy implications both at the global and European level
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
