Scientists’ Valuation of Open Science and Commercialization: The Influence of Peers and Organizational Context

In: Evolution, Organization and Economic Behavior

Author

Listed:
  • Stefan Krabel

Abstract

This new and original collection of papers focuses on the intersection of three strands of research: evolutionary economics, behavioral economics, and management studies. Combining theoretical and empirical contributions, the expert contributors demonstrate that the intersection of these fields provides a rich source of opportunities enabling researchers to find more satisfactory answers to questions that (not only evolutionary) economists have long been tackling. Topics discussed include individual agents and their interactions; the behavior and development of firm organizations; and evolving firms and their broader implications for the development of regions and entire economies.
