Abstract

The course introduces the basic theories and concepts underlying the state-of-the-art economics of science, technology, and innovation (STI). The course will discuss different perspectives on the STI, including the core concept formation and genesis, microeconomic, or firm-level aspects of innovation, macroeconomic perspectives, and rationales for policymaking. The lectures cover multi-actor context, discussing the roles of firms, institutions of higher education, research institutes, households, and individuals, as well as inter-actor linkages and institutional mechanics. Particular attention is given to a systemic perspective, known as the National innovation systems framework. The course is delivered to master students of The National Research University – Higher School of Economics/HSE. The course length is 114 academic hours in total of which 32 hours are class room hours and 82 hours are devoted to self-study. Academic control forms are in-class quizzes and presentations, a written project (structured literature review), and a written exam.
