Workshop: Creation of Value in a Knowledge-Based Economy
5-6 April 2006
Please note, this research programme has now concluded and these pages are maintained here as a record of the activities of the Institute for Advanced Studies.
Co-ordinator: Steve Fleetwood
Objectives
One of the key characteristics of the KBE, noted by both academics and policy-makers, is the fundamental shift in the factors adding or creating value (e.g. Castells, 1996; EU, 2000). If, in classical and neoclassical political economy value was considered to emerge primarily from the contributions of physical labour and/or capital, the supporters of the KBE claim that value formation in the new economy is fundamentally produced by immaterial forms of labour and capital (e.g. human capital, information). However, there’s little evidence or studies supporting this latter claim.
