Industrial Dynamics

Theoretical Course

ECTS: 3

Summary of the lecture:
This course starts with stylized facts of industrial dynamics and introduces analytical approaches to understand them. The O.A.C.K. approach comprises analyses of the Neo-Schumpeter hypotheses, sectoral structures of innovation, and by the help of classification schemes the issue of technological regimes and of the organisation of innovative activities in firms. A long-term perspective is taken within the Industry Life Cycle approach. Theoretical analyses are offered by the developmental approaches, the event approaches, as well as by the various ILC models. A final topic relates industrial dynamics and innovation creation to the role of demand.

Necessary Prior Knowledge:

1. Basic concepts in the Economics of Innovation
2. Some formal modeling competences
3. Understanding of empirical analyses
