His work has focused on a series of key economic issues, from inflation to technological change and economic growth in the world economy.  He was Visiting Fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex in 1984.  His book on the Long Wave in the World Economy was published by Routledge in 1992, and described by Chris Freeman as ‘a tour de force’.  Since 2000 he has focused largely on the effect of business systems, corporate governance and finance on technological change, both in developed countries and in China. His book on Corporate Governance, Finance and the Technological Advantage of Nations, co-authored with Francesca Visintin, won the Myrdal Prize for 2010. He has been Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University (twice) and Zhejiang University.  He also served recently on the Nuffield Council of Bioethics’ Working Party on Emerging Biotechnologies.  Between 1992 and 1998 he was Treasurer of the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy.
