Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Capitalism
  • Social science

His primary areas of study are Positive economics, Path dependence, Variety, Property and Public policy. The Positive economics study combines topics in areas such as Complex system, Interdependence and Field. His work carried out in the field of Path dependence brings together such families of science as Dominant design and New institutional economics.

Paul A. David combines subjects such as Evolutionary economics, Technological change, Mathematical economics and Industrial organization with his study of Property. His research integrates issues of Social science, Sunk costs and Process in his study of Mathematical economics. The various areas that Paul A. David examines in his Public policy study include Marketing, Skepticism and Distribution.

His most cited work include:

  • Clio and the economics of QWERTY (4359 citations)
  • Sources, Procedures, and Microeconomic Effects of Innovation (3360 citations)
  • Toward a new economics of science (1642 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Paul A. David mostly deals with Knowledge management, Productivity, Public economics, Intellectual property and The Internet. His Knowledge management research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Open-source software development and Information technology. His Productivity research includes themes of Capital and Development economics.

He works mostly in the field of Public economics, limiting it down to concerns involving Econometrics and, occasionally, Subject, Public sector and Stylized fact. His biological study deals with issues like Empirical research, which deal with fields such as Crowding out. His Intellectual property study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Property rights and Public relations.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Knowledge management (17.87%)
  • Productivity (7.84%)
  • Public economics (10.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2016)?

  • Knowledge management (17.87%)
  • e-Science (11.29%)
  • Work (8.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Paul A. David spends much of his time researching Knowledge management, e-Science, Work, Production and Open science. His studies in Knowledge management integrate themes in fields like Open-source software development, The Internet, Information sharing and Process. His studies deal with areas such as Social science, Path dependence and Software development as well as Process.

His work investigates the relationship between Production and topics such as Enforcement that intersect with problems in Resource and Public economics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Public economics, Management science are connected with Positive economics and other disciplines. His study looks at the relationship between Information technology and fields such as Empirical research, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2005 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Growth: Linking Policy Research and Practice in "STIG Systems" (186 citations)
  • Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Growth: Linking Policy Research and Practice in "STIG Systems" (186 citations)
  • Path Dependence: A Foundational Concept for Historical Social Science (183 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Social science
  • Capitalism

Work, Marketing, Distribution, Open source software and Knowledge management are his primary areas of study. Work is integrated with Information technology, Empirical research, Engineering ethics, Engineering research and Openness to experience in his research. His research in Marketing intersects with topics in Production and Behavioral pattern.

Paul A. David has researched Distribution in several fields, including Open-source software development and Data science.
