Description

Our project consists of participating as young scholars to the 18th International Schumpeter Society (ISS) Conference (http://iss2020.it/), that will take place in Rome (8-10 July 2021).

The International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society is an economics association aimed at furthering research in the spirit of Joseph Schumpeter. The primary objective of the ISS is the advancement of knowledge in the broad research area of the dynamics of structural change, its origins, and its effects. The society welcomes research by scholars of all scholarly traditions. In 1993 the Society adopted the Journal of Evolutionary Economics as its house journal.

Our primary aim is to bring together PhD students and young scholars from different approaches and traditions and revitalize a network of researchers working in the fields of innovation and structural change. By interacting with senior scholars, we aim to discuss future research avenues and crucial challenges in the fields. Our initiative will be twofold. First, by organizing a special session of the conference, entirely dedicated to young scholars, we will offer to four/five deserving PhD students an occasion to present their work and receive helpful feedback. Second, we will provide a broader group of students with the possibility to attend the conference and have access to the contents discussed in all sessions of the ISS.

The call for papers is addressed to PhD students working in the fields of innovation, structural change and related fields. Selected papers will have the opportunity to be presented in a special session of the conference titled “Sectoral patterns of innovation and the evolution of industrial structure”. Paper presentations will be followed by a discussion from both young scholars and distinguished scholars in the field (so far confirmed: Antonio Andreoni, Alex Coad, Giovanni Dosi and Maria Savona).

In addition, a broader group of motivated PhD and graduate students will be selected by motivational letter and will have the possibility to participate in all sessions of the conference without paying any fees.

We will select up to five contributions by young scholars related to the following topics:
