Best Eco Innovation
Joseph Schumpeter (1883–1950) was an Austrian-American economist who coined 'creative destruction' to describe how innovation drives capitalist growth, elaborated in his 1942 work Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy.
Developed by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the MCI is a sophisticated metric used to measure how 'circular' a product or material flow is. It evaluates three key factors: the proportion of recycled/renewable content, the utility of the product during its life, and the ease of recycling at the end...
Paul Romer is an American economist known for developing central parts of endogenous growth theory. He shared the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for integrating technological innovation into long-run macroeconomic analysis. His models treat ideas and knowledge as economic forces prod...
Philippe Aghion is a French economist known for research on economic growth, innovation, competition, and industrial organization. With Peter Howitt, he developed a model of Schumpeterian growth in which firms introduce innovations that replace older technologies through creative destruction. The fr...
