The Economics of Language Policy
Insights from the application of economic theories and research methods to the management of linguistic diversity in an era of globalization. In an era of globalization, issues of language diversity have economic and political implications. Transnational labor mobility, trade, social inclusion of migrants, democracy in multilingual countries, and companies' international competitiveness all have a linguistic dimension; yet economists in general do not include language as a variable in their research. This volume demonstrates that the application of rigorous economic theories and research methods to issues of language policy yields valuable insights. The contributors offer both theoretical an...
Getting Patents and Economic Data to Speak to Each Other: An “Algorithmic Links with Probabilities” Approach for Joint Analyses of Patenting and Economic Activity
In this paper, the authors describe and explore a new algorithmic approach to constructing concordances between the International Patent Classification (IPC) system and industry classification systems that organize economic data. This ‘Algorithmic Links with Probabilities’ (ALP) approach incorporates text analysis software and keyword extraction programs and applies them to a comprehensive patent dataset. The authors conclude with a discussion on some of the possible applications of the concordance and provide a sample analysis that uses their preferred ALP concordance to analyze international patent flows based on trade patterns.

Growth, R&D Spillovers and the Role of Patent Systems
This invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of twenty years of research on the economics of innovation and patent policies. Edited by Bruno van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie, the papers in this volume witness twenty years of advanced empirical research — triggered by intensive collaboration and inspired by his own professional experience at the OECD, METI and the European Patent Office. The Editor's publications in these fields have greatly contributed to better understand how innovation can be stimulated, how it can be measured, through which channels it contributes to growth, with a particular emphasis on the role of patent systems. In the introductory chapter, the Editor provi...
Warum nicht Mexiko
Dieses Buch erzählt, wie ich den Vater meiner beiden Töchter kennen lerne und wie diese unglaubliche Geschichte endet. Ein Abenteuer, in welches ich mich auf der Suche nach der wilden Romantik bewusst gestürzt habe - hoffnungslos verliebt. In diesen drei turbulenten Jahren, geprägt von physischer und psychischer Gewalt, hat sich mein Leben grundlegend verändert. In meinem geliebten Mexiko werden mir die harten Seiten eines Lebens in Armut aufgezeigt. Es lehrt mich Demut und Dankbarkeit. Der Verlauf der Dinge lässt mich nach und nach die nur schwer entwirrbare Verstrickung von Verlust der Selbstachtung und vermeintlichen Abhängigkeiten erkennen. Unter erschwerten und ungewohnten Lebensbedingungen gelingt es mir dennoch, entsprechend zu handeln. Die Eskalation der Geschehnisse befeuert meine innere Kraft, selbst in den scheinbar aussichtslosesten Momenten nicht aufzugeben. Kommen Sie mit auf die Achterbahn der Gefühle und lassen Sie sich von dieser wahren Geschichte mitreissen!
Local Governance in Central and Eastern Europe
This book examines local government performance in key areas of social services and economic promotion in eight towns in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Russia. It dispels the myth that socio-economic 'givens' or inter-governmental systems are key determinants of local development.
The Evaluation of Language Regimes
Building on existing analytical frameworks, this book provides a new methodology allowing different language policies in international multilingual organisations (or “language regimes”) to be compared and evaluated on the basis of criteria such as efficiency and fairness. It explains step-by-step how to organise the evaluation of language regimes and how to design and interpret indicators for such evaluation. The second part of this book applies the theoretical framework to the evaluation of the language policy of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) division of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO). Results show that an increase in linguistic diversity of the language regimes of patent organisations can both improve the efficiency of the patent system and lead to a more balanced distribution of costs among countries. This book is a resource for scholars in language policy and planning and for policy-makers in the international and European patent system.
