Reviews
'This book presents a remarkably broad yet detailed description and analysis of the various roles played by universities in the workings of modern economies, with a particular focus on Europe. It provides both a wide survey of research by others on the topics addressed, and an account of the authors' own important work. The complex policy issues are clearly drawn, and the authors' informed pragmatic position on them clearly articulated. This is the best book on the subject that I have seen.', '. . . Geuna and Rossi's The University and the Economy provides a concise, critical survey of how universities' teaching, research, and technology transfer activities may contribute to economic growth, while cautioning decision-makers not to rely overmuch on popular statistical indicators of that performance.', 'To wrap it up, the book by Aldo Geuna and Federica Rossi provides a thorough overview of the many ways in which universities contribute to economic growth through its key activities, teaching and research and technological transfer. The variety of theory, empirical work and original data reported in the book contributes to systematize a great amount of solid knowledge, which may not be easily accessible or directly usable by a wide public. Moreover, the book contributes to the debate on the restructuring on higher education systems with interesting and targeted policy suggestions for improving fruitful synergies between the university and the economy.', 'Geuna and Rossi's The University and the Economy provides a concise, critical survey of how universities' teaching, research, and technology transfer activities may contribute to economic growth, while cautioning decision-makers not to rely overmuch on popular statistical indicators of that performance.' -- (Science and Public Policy) 'The book is well written and structured, and it clearly demonstrates the value of an economic approach to the universities' activities... this book is highly recommendable and a good example of the valuable contributions that university research can make. It is relevant for students, academics, managers as well as policy-makers.' -- (Regional Studies ) 'To wrap it up, the book by Aldo Geuna and Federica Rossi provides a thorough overview of the many ways in which universities contribute to economic growth through its key activities, teaching and research and technological transfer.

It is relevant for students, academics, managers as well as policy-makers.', 'This book, with its wealth of information and its broad perspective, goes a long way toward educating us in the United States about how research at European universities is conducted and funded and details differences between Europe and the US. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to have a broader perspective on the relationship between universities and the economy.'

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
