Innovation and Creativity
While economists advocate the dismantling of government-imposed restrictions towards international trade, there continues to be a strong need for government action to address failures of private markets to provide for an efficient allocation of resources. One crucial action is giving appropriate incentives for investments in inventive and creative activities. The projects address a few challenges in the context of innovation and creativity in international trade stemming from the emergence of new technologies and business models, the changing composition of the world economy, novel innovation needs and the evolving overall governance structure for international trade that is fragmented and increasingly involves bilateral, regional and plurilateral approaches next to the multilateral model.
