Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt examine why technological innovation can sustain economic growth despite the disruption it creates. Mokyr considers the historical development of useful knowledge, the connection between understanding and invention, and the institutional and political conditions needed for continuing progress. Aghion develops the economics of creative destruction, connecting innovation incentives with entry, incumbent firms and competition. He discusses how theoretical models and empirical evidence inform policies intended to support productivity growth. Howitt ex

In this talk, Mirta will share her journey from her education a mathematically-focused high school to her currently unconventional career in London, emphasizing the evolution from a local education in Croatia to international experiences in the US and UK. We will explore the concept of interdisciplinary careers in the modern world, viewing them through the framework of increasing demand, flexibility, and dynamism in the current workplace.

Over the course of evolution, the human race has achieved a number of remarkable innovations, that have enabled us to adapt to and benefit from the environment ever more effectively. The ongoing environmental threats and health disasters of our world have now made it crucial to understand the cognitive mechanisms behind innovative behaviours. In my talk, I will present two research projects with examples of innovation-based behavioural adaptation from the taxonomic kingdom of animals, serving as a comparative psychological model for mapping the evolution of innovation. The first project focuse
