Economic growth in emerging economies: what,who and why

This article proposes a general definition of emerging economies (EEs) and investigates the main determinants of their high rates of economic growth by extending the basic framework of neoclassical growth models to include various dimensions of economic development. According to the proposed definition, we find a list of 38 EEs for the period 2000–2014, whose emergence is proved to be strictly associated with the decline of the age dependency ratio, the increasing rates of investment growth and the improvements in human capital.     

Influencing the perception of what and who is important in ecological economics

In a recent article using citation analysis Hoepner et al. (2012) make strong claims to have identified the most influential works, authors, journals and institutions in a hypothetical field they call environmental and ecological economics. This paper shows that their work is biased by its framing, far from the non-subjective approach they claim and highly sensitive to minor data errors. More than this the exercise can be seen as another example of how ecological economics is susceptible to suppression by a dominant mainstream economic perspective which attempts to override, belittle and dismiss a whole range of alternative thought, including that which is heterodox, interdisciplinary, from the natural sciences and based in the non-economic social sciences. Ecological economics is not the same as agricultural, resource or environmental economics, and if it were it would be pointless. Neither can it be understood or treated as a subfield of resource and environmental economics, as done by Hoepner et al. (2012). I argue that the study promotes a limited perspective on social, environmental and economic problems that includes an implicit political and ideological framing. What is most influential, important or high quality in ecological economics is certainly not defined by such work.     

企业持续创新过程:从知识累积到持续学习的新视角

熊彼特之后 ,创新理论演变为两大分支 :以技术变革为研究对象的“技术创新”理论和以制度变革为研究对象的“制度创新”理论。根据这一思路 ,本文对企业持续创新过程进行了划分 :从总体上看 ,企业持续创新过程包括持续技术创新和持续制度创新两个方面。具体地 ,持续技术创新指熊彼特所说的技术、工艺、原材料供给来源和市场等方面的持续创新 :持续制度创新是指组织、管理、文化等方面的持续创新。需要说明的是 ,企业持续创新还涉及技术创新和制度创新二者之间相互补充、促进和渗透的综合集成效应。只是为便于理论上的分析 ,我们在概念上作了…
