The University and the Economy : Pathways to growth and economic development

The University and the Economy provides an in-depth exploration of the many ways in which universities contribute to economic development and growth. By providing readers with theoretical tools and evidence to explain the means by which university activities impact the economic system, the book offers a robust analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of specific university systems. In offering a solid foundation of conceptual and statistical knowledge, this book supports the current debate on the role of the university in the contemporary economy. It also offers insights to enhance understanding of why some university systems are not contributing to their economies as well as others. The book adopts an economic perspective, which allows the actions of universities, as well as the individuals who study and work within them, to be analysed in the context of economic models of behaviour. From this perspective, it explains the organization, governance and funding of universities' activities and explores how these could be structured to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. Academics, policymakers, managers and professionals working in universities will find a wealth of valuable information in this book. It will also be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of science and technology policy, higher education economics and the economics and management of innovation.

  • "L'obiettivo principale di questa originale ricerca è quello di offrire fondamenta concettuali e statistiche robuste per alimentare il dibattito sui molteplici contributi che il sistema universitario offre al sistema economico. Gli autori, già noti all'estero per questi studi, attingono da un ricco dibattito internazionale sull'impatto economico dell'università, a cui soltanto molto di recente il nostro paese ha iniziato ad affacciarsi. La novità sta nell'affrontare questo tema in maniera integrata, considerando l'intero spettro delle attività svolte dagli atenei (didattica, ricerca e trasferimento di conoscenze) e nell'adottare un approccio secondo il quale gli atenei, così come gli individui che vi lavorano e studiano, rispondono a incentivi analizzabili all'interno di un modello di tipo economico. Il volume vuole rivolgersi a dirigenti e professionisti che lavorano in ambito universitario e ai "policy maker" a livello nazionale e regionale."
