Economics as Anatomy
Radical Innovation in Empirical Economics
G.M. Peter Swann, Nottingham University
Business School, UK
‘Economics as Anatomy is a superb sequel to
Peter Swann’s earlier book, Putting Econometrics in its
Place. It is filled with educated common sense. It critiques
the profession without condemnation, and provides
some excellent and well-reasoned suggestions for how
the profession can (and should) do better.’
                – David Colander, Middlebury College, US
‘Peter Swann’s call for economics to embrace a federation of approaches to
economics, akin to the diversity one finds in medicine, is a thoughtful insider’s
response to the calls for pluralism in economics by internal and external critics
after the financial crisis of 2008. His demonstration that the signal to noise ratio
in the vast majority of econometric studies is far too low to rely on econometrics
alone as a way to evaluate economic theories should be read and appreciated
by all econometricians. Humility may be the first necessary step in the reform               Elgar Research Agendas

Innovation Policy
Edited by Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy,
Alexander Kleibrink and Monica Matusiak, European Commission, Spain
Place-based innovation policy design requires an in-depth understanding of
territories and their complexity. Traditional statistics, with a lack of publicly
available data at the disaggregated (sub-sectoral and regional) level, often do
not provide adequate information. Therefore, new methods and approaches
are required so that scientists and experts that can inform decision-makers and
stakeholders in choosing priorities and directions for their innovation strategies.
The book replies to such a need by offering advanced mapping methodologies
for innovation policies with a special focus on approaches that take into account
place-based policies.
