A relatively new branch of economics is Innovation Economics. This subject focuses on the topic of innovation, alongside the study of technology, knowledge, and entrepreneurship. It aims to understand where new ideas come from, and how we can put forward policies which will encourage the development of new ways of thinking. As many nations move away from an industrial model of production and towards a knowledge-based economy, the economics of innovation becomes more and more relevant.

It happens every year. As you’re walking through a shopping centre, a store, or perhaps a supermarket, you hear a Christmas song, and you know it’s the beginning of the buying frenzy that leads up to Christmas.

What is Stata? If you want to work in econometrics, chances are you’ll need to learn to use a statistical analysis package like Stata. Stata is one of the most widely used software packages to help students and researchers explore, summarise and analyse complicated datasets. The software is available in several different versions which differ mainly in the number of variables allowed in memory.

When you're doing data analysis, you might find yourself with a number of different variables to work with. For example, perhaps you have invited participants to your lab and run them through your experiment. You have collected data on variables such as the participant's age (in years), their reaction time to a particular stimulus (in milliseconds), their reaction time to another stimulus (in milliseconds), and their rating of a preference (on a 1 – 10 scale).
