Rebecca Riley (Centre of Excellence, NIESR) XVI IDP Lecture – Organised by SOAS Economics Research Cluster on Industrial Development and Policy. Many advanced economies have seen a slowdown in productivity growth since the middle of the 2000s. In the UK this slowdown has been particularly stark. A decade on from the global financial crisis UK productivity levels are little different to what they were at their peak in 2007. In this paper we use new data to provide a detailed account of the...

The multiple crisis of 2007/8 aggravated the uneven development inside Europe and led to the rise of populist forces in different countries. Progressive industrial policy in the framework of a broader industrial strategy could serve as a tool to reduce the existing imbalances. However, considering climate change, we also need to rethink which kind and quantity of products we need and how their production can be organised consistent with the goal of the social-ecological transformation, e.g....

Rainer Kattel (UCL) will focus on how to (re-)define what entrepreneurial states are: namely, these are states that are capable of unleashing innovations and wealth resulting from those, and of maintaining socio-political stability at the same time. Innovation bureaucracies are constellations of public organisations that deliver such agile stability. Such balancing act makes public bureaucracies unique in how they work, succeed and fail. The talk looks at the historical evolution of...

Julia Steinberger (University of Leeds) and Elena Hofferberth (University of Leeds) In this talk, we first cover the (physical) science basis and the case for a climate emergency. Depending on the economic interpretation of the causal dynamics connecting fossil fuels and the economy, entirely different proposals for tackling climate breakdown are put forward. We will discuss green growth reformist proposals and contrast them with radical degrowth ones. We summarise the empirical evidence on...
