Dr. Carolina Cañibano is a research fellow at the Institute for Innovation and Knowledge Management in Valencia (INGENIO, CSIC-UPV). She was trained as an economist at the Universidad Autónoma of Madrid. Carolina’s research focuses on the theoretical and empirical investigation of research careers, human capital and economic change from an evolutionary perspective. She has made theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions to the socio-economics of science by addressing research questions regarding the dynamics of geographical mobility and career development of researchers and the knowledge diffusion processes that derive from mobility. She has also contributed to addressing the role of human intentionality in the shaping of economic evolution. At present, her theoretical efforts are targeted at providing the microfoundations for an evolutionary theory of human capital. Other current interests include the study of the effects of research evaluation systems upon researchers’ behaviors and scientific outcomes and the study of the institutional implementation of scientific advice to policy makers.
