Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Economists have debated the issue of state intervention in the economic process in capitalist economies intensively for decades. Often, however, without considering the effects of state intervention on entrepreneurship. In this paper we undertake a critical analysis of the institutionalist theory of state intervention developed by Ha-Joon Chang. He identifies two key roles for the state in facilitating structural change, namely, firstly, to pronounce a vision for the future ( state entrepreneurship) and, secondly, management of conflicts which arise during the process of structural change. We also examine how well the Swedish model of state intervention fits into Chang's model as well as possible drawbacks with the Swedish model not least in terms of reducing the incentives for entrepreneurship. Thirdly, we examine the possibility that, because of radical changes in its economic and political environment, the Swedish model has become less successful in carrying out the two key roles outlined by Dr Chang in the last three decades. Finally, we discuss the implications of these changes for the Chang style interventionalist state. Is there any room left for structural change management by the state in the global era? If so, what are the appropriate measures and policy levels for this type of intervention? And, in particular, how can proper institutions and incentives for entrepreneurship be used to facilitate the structural change process?

Philippe Aghion : recipient of the 2016 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research
- 2017
-
In: Small Business Economics. - : Springer. - 0921-898X .- 1573-0913. ; 48:1, s. 1-8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Professor Philippe Aghion is the 2016 recipient of the Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research, consisting of 100,000 Euros and a statuette designed by the internationally renowned Swedish sculptor Carl Milles. He is one of the most influential researchers worldwide in economics in the last couple of decades. His research has advanced our understanding of the relationship between firm-level innovation, entry and exit on the one hand, and productivity and growth on the other. Aghion has thus accomplished to bridge theoretical macroeconomic growth models with a more complete and consistent microeconomic setting. He is one of the founding fathers of the pioneering and original contribution referred to as Schumpeterian growth theory. Philippe Aghion has not only contributed with more sophisticated theoretical models, but also provided empirical evidence regarding the importance of entrepreneurial endeavours for societal prosperity, thereby initiating a more nuanced policy discussion concerning the interdependencies between entrepreneurship, competition, wealth and growth.

Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Regional economic development has experienced considerable dynamism over recent years. Perhaps the most notable cases were the rise of China and India to emergent country status by the turn of the millennium. With time now for hindsight, this book identifies some of the key forces behind these development successes, namely agglomeration, clusters and entrepreneurship.

Import flows: extraregional linkages stimulating renewal of regional sectors?
- 2013
-
In: Environment & Planning A. - : SAGE Publications. - 0308-518X .- 1472-3409. ; 45:12, s. 2999-3017
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We examine the role of regional import flows for renewal of regional industries. The hypothesis is that imports stimulate renewal of local industries by being vehicles for technology diffusion and means by which local firms can exploit advantages of global specialisation. We find robust and positive relationships between high-quality imports and renewal of regional exports, where the latter are measured by the introduction of novel export products of local firms. Connectedness to international markets via import networks appears to be a stimulus for the renewal of regional exports.
