Dear colleagues,
On behalf of Industry and Innovation, we would like to bring to your attention the latest two issues published in the journal.
Issue #7 is a Special Issue dedicated to the Twin (digital and green) transition and its economic and social challenges. This Special Issue has been co-edited by Dario Diodato, Elena Huergo, Pietro Moncada-Paternò-Castello, Francesco Rentocchini, and Bram Timmermans. Beyond the Editorial in which the Guest Editors summarize the Special Issue and outline an agenda for future research on the topic, you will find a solid collection of seven papers covering topics related to the antecedents and/or implications of the digital and green transitions.
Issue #8 includes a diverse set of five articles covering topics on transformative, mission-oriented policy instruments, the role of learning by Doing, Using, and Interacting (DUI) in innovation, and the impacts of automation and robotization in labor markets and households.
We hope you will enjoy the reading:
