Innovation Policy and the Economy, Volume 12.

Innovation Policy and the Economy, Volume 12, edited by Josh Lerner and Scott Stern, is now available from the University of Chicago Press. The IPE conference series provides a forum for research on the interactions among public policy, the innovation process, and the economy. The distinguished contributors to these volumes look at policies that affect the ability of an economy to achieve scientific and technological progress, or that shape the impact of science and technology on economic growth. Volume 12 includes an exploration of recent events in the U.S. economy and their implications for innovation and growth; a consideration of the role of noncompete agreements in shaping labor market dynamics, the propensity for entrepreneurship, and regional migration; and an empirical analysis of the issues of rapid advance and increased centrality of digital networks and platforms, as well as the increasing attention on the role of individual privacy.
