Here are my slides from a revision webinar on the economics of the Gig Economy. The labour market changes all the time but in the last decade we have seen a fast-evolving landscape of many more people being engaged in gig work and many on short term or zero hours contracts. Who are the winners and losers from the new world of work? Does the expansion of the Gig Economy improve the UK’s macroeconomic performance?

Best practices in business incubation_Rustam_Lalkaka 2002Vasily Ryzhonkov
Business incubators, evolving from experiences with business centers and other support
services, have grown rapidly in number from a 200 a decade ago to over 3,000 world-wide today. Incubator programs in the developing and restructuring countries are
typically focused on technology ventures. But the interests of civil society call for the
government, private sector and universities in all nations to address the wider concerns
of empowering disadvantaged groups through employment and facilitated access to
capital (human, knowledge, social and financial).
While incubators have grown in numbers, the uneven performance and poor
sustainability in many situations have become serious issues with the governments and
sponsors who continue to subsidize many of them. There has been much recent interest in
identifying ‘best practices’ that could then be used elsewhere. But these practices are
location-, culture- and time-specific, and can only be adapted to the conditions prevailing
in local situations. This paper reviews the operating experiences in the USA, (which has
about 1,000 incubators of the world total), in China, Brazil and Korea (the largest
programs in the developing world), and other selected countries. The emerging lessons
(yet to be learned) on enhancing performance based on ’good’ international practices
together with some urgent research issues are outlined. Success in the Olympiad of
venture creation and employment generation depends essentially on five inter-linked
rings: Public policy, private partnerships, knowledge affiliations, professional
networking and community involvement.
