Rotational Symmetry and the Transformation of Innovation Systems in a Triple Helix of University-Industry-Government Relations
Inga A. Ivanova, Loet Leydesdorff
(Submitted on 12 Nov 2012 (v1), last revised 13 Aug 2013 (this version, v3))
Using a mathematical model, we show that a Triple Helix (TH) system contains self-interaction, and therefore self-organization of innovations can be expected in waves, whereas a Double Helix (DH) remains determined by its linear constituents. (The mathematical model is fully elaborated in the Appendices.) The ensuing innovation systems can be expected to have a fractal structure: innovation systems at different scales can be considered as spanned in a Cartesian space with the dimensions of (S)cience, (B)usiness, and (G)overnment. A national system, for example, contains sectorial and regional systems, and is a constituent part in technological and supra-national systems of innovation. The mathematical modeling enables us to clarify the mechanisms, and provides new possibilities for the prediction. Emerging technologies can be expected to be more diversified and their life cycles will become shorter than before. In terms of policy implications, the model suggests a shift from the production of material objects to the production of innovative technologies.

Triple Helix A Journal of University-Industry-Government Innovation and Entrepreneurship - Call for papers
Triple Helix A Journal of University-Industry-Government Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Published by Springer Open in 2014
Call for papers
Special issue on ‘The spatial dimension of innovation: Triple Helix and the city’
Christiane Gebhardt and Harald A. Mieg (Eds)
Horizon 2020, the next European Framework programme will target technology, regional and urban innovation and reopen the discussion on the old nexus of innovation and space when addressing the smart city as an integrative concept for interdisciplinary knowledge creation and capacity building.
The world is experimenting with innovation models. China is changing development zones to clusters in order to upgrade the economy, Germany reopens a new discussion on governance in innovation and Africa might benefit from these new approaches to innovation and contribute to the debate in a new way.
A pattern connecting these innovation models will have to link technological and social innovation as well as different types of spatial transformations (e.g. urban and regional). Innovation policy faces organizational challenges when embracing the idea of space.
New forms of interaction and governance between innovative industries, intergovernmental policies and universities and other knowledge producing institutions have an impact on the social and physical transformation of cities and metropolitan areas. Synthesizing insights from megacity research, sustainability science, and innovation & cluster policy, the spatial dimension of technological and social innovation will be the focus of this special issue.
We will welcome papers on "Triple Helix and the City" focussing on:
· Innovative approaches for managing urban and regional transformation such as smart growth strategies; "syntegration"; cross-sectoral, transdisciplinary urban transition management.
· Interdisciplinary case studies and best practices in social urban innovation, new innovation models ("post-Baconian"?), and their institutional implications
· The specific role of global and local finance (for infrastructures, urban and rural transformation, systemic risks…)
The special issue will integrate the current discussion on social and/or technological innovation into the Triple Helix debate.

new paper "Redundancy Generation in University-Industry-Government Relations: The Triple Helix Modeled, Measured, and Simulated"
A Triple Helix (TH) of bi- and trilateral relations among universities, industries, and governments can be considered as an ecosystem in which uncertainty can be reduced auto-catalytically. The correlations among the distributions of relations span a vector space in which two vectors (Pand Q) represent "sending" and "receiving," respectively. These vectors can also be understood in terms of the generation versus reduction of uncertainty in the communication field that results from interactions among the three (bi-lateral) communication channels. We specify a set of Lotka-Volterra equations between the vectors that can be solved. Redundancy generation can then be simulated and the results can be decomposed in terms of the TH components. Among other things, we show that the strength and frequency of the relations are independent parameters. Different components in terms of frequencies in triple-helix systems can also be distinguished and interpreted using Fourier analysis of the empirical time-series. The case of co-authorship relations in Japan is analyzed as an empirical example; but "triple contingencies" in an ecosystem of relations can also be considered more generally as a model for redundancy generation by providing meaning to the (Shannon-type) information in inter-human communications.

Subsidies, shadow of death and productivity
Heli Koski and Mika Pajarinen
Abstract:
Our panel data from over 10,000 Finnish firms during the years 2003-2010 sheds
light on the effect of different business subsidies on firm productivity performance
and on the relationship between firms’ lagged labor productivity and market exit. We
find that not any of the subsidy types have statistically significant short-term or
longer term impacts on the firms’ productivity performance. It seems that
particularly employment and investment subsidies tend to be allocated to the
relatively less efficient companies. We further observe that a decline in the firm’s
lagged labor productivity levels are clearly more weakly related to the subsidized
firms’ exit than to the exit of firms that have not received any subsidies. Our
empirical findings thus hint that the allocation of subsidies to the relatively
inefficient firms increases their liquidity making their market exit less likely than it
would be otherwise. In other words, our data indicate that subsidy allocation
weakens the shadow of death phenomenon observed in the previous empirical studies
and hinders the process of creative destruction in the economy.

Triple Helix Conferences Annals
This is something really very important in the TH world. People ask me a lot of times about this.
I uploaded in GoogleDrive all documents from TH conferences.
I don´t have the first 2. All other are there.
Enjoy!!

Why triplehelixuig??
The long name is the triple helix of university-industry-government linkages to promote innovation and economic development. But it´s too much to a blog!!
There are other triple helix networks and UIG will differentiate us.
The blog content is managed by the Triple Helix Research Group - THERG-Brazil (www.triple-helix.uff.br). We are host in the Laboratory of Multiaplications in Management (http://www.uff.br/lamag/) of Institute of Human and Social Sciences (www.ichs.uff.br) from Fluminense Federal University, Brazil (www.uff.br)
Today, is August, 13th and we will publish soon a lot of news and files.
Best,

Hello!! Old network, new tool!!
Dear
friends,
After 4
years working with NING the host tool of triple helix blog we decide move to a
non-paid tool. NING prices are high and the network are suffering a long attack
from spammers. We´ll lose some facilities from NING but using BlogSpot and Google
drive integration we can replace with the same quality.
The address
triplehelix.ning.com will be discontinued. The new address will be triplehelixuig.blogspot.com
Our community
has today 400 participants. I hope we can reach more people using an open tool.
Best,
