Workshop on Innovation, Competition and Employment

ICE 2024, May 13-15

Welcome to Dijon

The “Innovation, Competition, and Employment” (ICE 2024) workshop, to be held at Dijon on Mai 13-15, 2024. The workshop aims at providing a platform of discussion about the links between product market regulations, competition, innovation and labour market outcomes. Examples of related subjects include —but are not limited to— innovation incentives provided by different forms of product-market competition and regulations, the impact of innovation on labour market outcomes, eco-innovation, innovation in finance and health industries, industry dynamics and trade impact on technical change, analyses of local innovative clusters, or public policy evaluations on tax incentives and public support for R&D.

Theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome. Although innovation, understood in a broad sense, is the central topic, contributions shedding light to methodological aspects of the analysis of strategic interactions and market failures also belong to the discussions we are seeking to promote.

Keynote speakers:

• Margaret Kyle, Center for Industrial Economics (CERNA), MINES ParisTech
• Christophe André, Structural Policy Analysis division of the OECD Economics Department.
• Francesco Venturini, University of Urbino.
• Bernard Sinclair-Desgagne, SKEMA Business School.
