Small Firms and U.S. Technology Policy Social Benefits of the U.S. Small Business Innovation Research Program Albert N. Link and Martijn van Hasselt, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, US ‘In an era where public policy is increasingly politicized and decisive, this important new book sheds pathbreaking light on how evidence-based analysis can provide a neutral scientific-based assessment of technology policy. The careful findings make it clear how and why technology policy can unleash the innovative potential of not just small firms but an entire society and economy.’ – David B.

Importantly, this edited volume addresses the links between disadvantages experienced early in careers and the much later, often substantial, consequences for retirement and old age income. Going beyond the ordinary, these interdisciplinary studies fill knowledge gaps, especially with respect to social risk groups and geographical spread. They investigate how flexibilization of work and pension reforms challenge youth today and how they will continue to challenge them in the future. Are they aware of their prospects – and can they save adequately for their old age retirement?’ – Bernhard Ebbinghaus, University of Mannheim, Germany Mar 2023 c 200 pp Hardback 978 1 80220 857 3 c £90.00 / c $130.00 eBook • Elgaronline Globalization and Welfare series Central Banks and Monetary Regimes in Emerging Countries Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of Latin America Edited by Fernando Ferrari-Filho, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre and National Council for Technological and Scientific Development (CNPq), Brasília, Brazil and Luiz Fernando de Paula, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro and CNPq, Brasília, and Rio de Janeiro Research Foundation (FAPERJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This book focuses on the recent trends of monetary policy in Latin America.
