Economics of Innovation |

The course provides a theoretical introduction to the field of innovation economics. The course is an elective course either attributable for a Bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree in Economics. Teaching language is English. In this course we learn why and how institutions provide incentives for innovative activity. We study basic models of ideas, and how market structure, globalization and intellectual property rights impact the innovative activity of competing firms. We will also examine innovation contests and study how they should be optimally designed.
