SUMMARY:The Entrepreneurial State and the Risk-Reward Nexus: Implications for Innovation and Inequality
DESCRIPTION:Mariana Mazzucato\, Professor of Economics and RM Phillips Chair in Science and Technology Policy\,  SPRU Science and Technology Policy Research\, University of Sussex \nMariana presents a new framework\, called the Risk-Reward Nexus\, to study the relationship between innovation and inequality. She asks: What types of economic actors (workers\, taxpayers\, shareholders) make contributions of effort and money to the innovation process for the sake of future\, inherently uncertain\, returns? Are these the same types of economic actors who are able to appropriate returns from the innovation process if and when they appear? Who takes the risks and who gets the rewards? She argues that it is the collective\, cumulative\, and uncertain characteristics of the innovation process that make this disconnect between risks and rewards possible. When\, across these different types of actors\, the distribution of financial rewards from the innovation process reflects the distribution of contributions to the innovation process\, innovation tends to reduce inequality. When\, however\, some actors are able to reap shares of financial rewards from the innovation process that are disproportionate to their contributions to the process\, innovation increases inequality. The latter outcome occurs when certain actors are able to position themselves at the point where the innovative enterprise generates financial returns; that is\, close to the final product market or\, in some cases\, close to a financial market such as the stock market. These favored actors then propound ideological arguments\, with intellectual roots in the efficiency propositions of neoclassical economics\, that justify the disproportionate shares of the gains from innovation that they have been able to appropriate. These ideological arguments invariably favor shareholder contributions to the innovation process over both worker contributions and taxpayer contributions. \nFurther Reading\n\nThe Risk-Reward Nexus in the Innovation-Inequality Relationship Mariana Mazzucato and William Lazonick\, forthcoming in (Summer 2013) Industrial and Corporate Change\, special issue on: Finance\, Innovation and Growth (ed.

SUMMARY:Seminar: The STEPS Centre and the Participate Initiative - addressing fundamental questions in the post-2015 debate
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is an opportunity for discussion between different areas of work at the Institute of Development Studies aiming to address some of the fundamental questions surrounding the creation of a post-2015 development framework. \nThe STEPS Centre is currently undertaking work around aligning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS ) and post 2015 framework processes\, and Fellows in the Participation\, Power and Social Change team are leading the Participate: Knowledge from the Margins initiative\, which is providing high quality evidence on the reality of poverty at ground level\, bringing the perspectives of the poorest into the post-2015 debate. \nSpeakers: \n\nMelissa Leach – STEPS Centre director\nDanny Burns – Participate co-director\nJoanna Wheeler – Participate co-director\n\nRelevant resources:\n\nSTEPS Centre work on the Post-2015 agenda\nThe Participate project\nIDS Millennium Development Goals and Post-2015 Agenda research

SUMMARY:STEPS Seminar: Boru Douthwaite on Using Theory of Change to Lever Change: Experience from the CGIAR
DESCRIPTION:‘Using Theory of Change to Lever Change: Experience from the CGIAR’  \nBoru Douthwaite\, Principal Scientist on the CGIAR Research Program on Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) at WorldFish \nVideo\n \nAbout this seminar\nWorking with staff and stakeholders to think through how research can bring about development outcomes can change how projects and partnerships are planned\, implemented\, monitored and evaluated to increase their likelihood of success.  Experience from the CGIAR shows that realizing this potential depends on facilitation and timing more than theory and formats.  This seminar examines the important dos and don’ts of using theory of change to foster change from experience from two CGIAR programs. \nBoru Douthwaite was previously the former Innovation and Impact Director at the Challenge Program on Water and Food and a Senior Scientist at CIAT\, where he developed the Participatory Impact Pathways Analysis (PIPA) approach\, which is used by the STEPS Centre’s projects. \nThis seminar is being held jointly with the Centre for Development Impact.
