My research revolves around innovation, evaluation, globalization and development. I am interested in measurement of innovation, heterogeneity of innovation behaviour, research evaluation, geography of innovation and interlinks between innovation, research, institutions and economic development. If one really needs to squeeze it into a field box, my research fits best in economics of innovation, crossed with international, institutional and development economics, mingled with scientometrics, higher education studies and economic geography and perhaps spiced by a pinch of strategic management. Indeed, it is a colourful mixture, but this is what it takes.
