CALL FOR PAPERS
Baugh-Ratio Colloquium for Young Social Scientists

The Ratio Institute (Sweden) and the Baugh Center for Entrepreneurship & Free Enterprise at Baylor University (USA) invite junior scholars in management, entrepreneurship, economics, public policy, economic history, sociology, etc. to submit proposals for a cross-disciplinary research colloquium in Stockholm. The aim of the colloquium is to bring together researchers working on policy-relevant issues related to entrepreneurship and innovation.
The colloquium aims to deepen the discussion on governmental policies for innovative entrepreneurship. Policymakers have invested extensively in initiatives for commercialization of research and with incentives for new firms to invest in R&D and growth. However, public investments and policy efforts often have a smaller impact than expected. Why? What distinguishes successful from less successful policies? Are there limits to specific policy interventions or combination of policies?
The ambition of the colloquium is to advance research on governmental policies for innovative entrepreneurship. We encourage papers dealing with, but not limited to, the following:
- Specific policy interventions towards innovative entrepreneurship
- How policy interventions affect competitive environments
- Theoretical assessment of policy interventions
- Enabling or constraining resource recombination
- Methods and measures
- Other neglected topics
