| Abstract: | The aim was to provide some understanding elements of the crisis based on the complex thinking developed by Edgar Morin, taking as a basis the necessary trans-formation of training. Understanding the crises that are sweeping the world implies thinking about them according to the principles of systemic, hologrammatic, retroactive and recursive loops, autonomy and dependencies, dialogy and the reintroduction of the knowledgeable into knowledge. It's this last principle that has led us to question the reform of training through a knowledge of the inner obstacles to knowledge, a complex noetic knowledge. |
| Abstract: | Cet article se propose d'apporter des éléments de compréhension de la crise à partir de la pensée complexe développée par Edgar Morin, en prenant appui sur la nécessaire trans-formation de la formation. Comprendre les crises qui traversent le monde implique de les penser selon les principes systémique, hologrammatique, de boucle rétroactive et récursive, d'autonomie et de dépendances, dialogique et par la réintroduction du connaissant dans la connaissance. C'est ce dernier principe qui nous a conduit à interroger la reforme de la formation par une connaissance des obstacles intérieurs à la connaissance, une connaissance complexe noétique. |

| Abstract: | This paper studies how national research subsidies affect productivity growth and national welfare through adjustments in the geographic location of research and development (R&D) across countries. Our two-country framework features a tension in the firm-level innovation location decision between accessing technical knowledge and sourcing low-cost high-skilled labor. With trade costs and imperfect international knowledge diffusion, the larger country has a greater share of industry and tends to host a larger share of innovation. In this setting, we find that an R&D subsidy expands the implementing country’s share of innovation and raises the rate of productivity growth. Although the non-implementing country experiences a welfare improvement, the rising cost of the policy generates a concave relationship between the R&D subsidy and the welfare of the implementing country, yielding an optimal R&D subsidy rate. |

| Abstract: | Knowledge applied to innovation is increasingly recognized as an explanatory factor of economic growth. Innovation derives from the application of knowledge to generate new products or new processes. National Innovation Systems (NIS) performs as the formal or informal network of people within institutions, interacting to produce and apply knowledge to innovation. NIS can be understood as two subsystems: one based on scientifical and technological work, producing codified products (publications and patents), and the other centered on practical actions to diffuse, apply, and use knowledge. Our objective is to assess cost efficiency in the production of codified knowledge outputs (CKO), being our unit of analysis countries. To attain our goal, we apply a Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to estimate a cost frontier of CKO. The sample is a panel that includes 1189 observations, for 23 years (1996-2019), and 82 countries. Our main results identify determinants and patterns of efficiency and productivity, tendencies, and specifics of countries and groups of them. |
