Charles Cooper Memorial Lecture 2011 - Richard R. Nelson - Part one 26:38 31 January 2011 The fourth Charles Cooper memorial lecture was given on 27 january 2011 by Richard R. Nelson from Columbia University. The lecture explored why development should be seen as an evolutionary process. Professor Nelson set out why modern evolutionary economic theory provides a better framework for understanding development than neoclassical theory, arguing that an adequate conceptual framework needs to recognize that effective economic development is driven by innovation and creative destruction. It also is important to recognize the wide range of institutions involved in economic activity (much more than just firms, households, and markets), and that the varied roles of government cannot be understood simply as responses to ‘market failures’. This is all the more relevant to developing countries, where economic activity proceeds in an ever changing world environment.

GLOBELICS DAKAR 2009 - Interviews & Social events 62:19 18 November 2009 This video contains interviews with the organisors of the GLOBELICS 2009 DAKAR conference of October 6-8, 2009 as well as footage of the social events. GLOBELICS (Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems) is an international network of scholars who apply the concept of "learning, innovation, and competence building system" (LICS) as their framework and are dedicated to the strengthening of LICS in developing countries, emerging economies and societies in transition. The research aims at locating unique systemic features as well as generic good practices to enlighten policy making relating to innovation, competence building, international competitiveness, regional development, labor market and human capital development. In an increasingly global and knowledge-based competition, management strategies need to be based upon an understanding of these framework conditions and the public policies which seek to regulate the environment. The 2009 conference was organised by CRES-UCAD in Dakar and UNU-MERIT. Please visit the conference website at: globelics2009dakar.merit.unu.edu
