The three best papers of the DRUID Academy PhD Winter 2006 Conference

---

The Selection Committee has picked the three best papers of the conference. It was extremely hard in 2006, given the many high quality papers presented at the conference. The high quality of PhD presentations is very good news for the future of DRUID's broader scientific community. Nevertheles, in the end the Committee found that three papers were outstanding:

• Watu Wamae, CEDERS universiti de la Miditerranie, France:
  Understanding the pervasive process of marginalisation using a dynamic non-linear model
• Francesco Laforgia, Dept. of Economics, Insubria University, Italy (with Francesco Lissoni):
  What do you mean by Mobile? Multi-applicant inventors in the European Biotech Industry and their Impact of Knowledge Diffusion
• Alexander Frenzel Baudisch, Max Planck Institute of Economics, Jena, Germany:
  A Socially-Conditioned Desire for Product Variety and its Implications For Industrial Organization: The Emergence of the Global Value Chain for the U.S. Footwear Market

The three papers have been offered inclusion in the DRUID Working paper series 2006, subject to revions along the lines of the comments given at the conference.
