CRIC Paper Series

CRIC Publications | CRIC Briefings | Discussion Papers

The Briefings and Discussion Paper series are an important vehicle for CRIC to present its preliminary research results.

• CRIC Briefings are intented to provide those involved in innovation and competition with a clear understanding of the main issues and findings presented by CRIC research and publication programmes.
• Discussion Papers are used by the Centre to communicate quickly work in progress to our audiences. Typically these papers will be submitted for publication to academic journals after revision.

The Briefings and Discussion Papers are edited by Stan Metcalfe and Mark Harvey. All Discussion papers are refereed outside of CRIC.

Archived CRIC Briefing Papers (1997 - 2000) are also available on-line.
