The Journal of Technoeconomics (JTE) is pleased to announce the call for papers for its inaugural issue. As an interdisciplinary academic journal, JTE aims to foster research and discussion on the dynamic relationship between energy, technology, and economics. We invite scholars, researchers, and industry experts to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of technoeconomics.

Technoeconomics encompasses the study of the economic implications of technological advancements, energy, innovation, and the digital transformation of various industries. It explores the interplay between economic systems and technology, energy, and engineering.

We invite scholars, researchers, and industry experts to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of technoeconomics, with a particular focus on the following general themes:

1. Causal relations between energy innovation, productivity, and economic growth.

2. Productivity and Production Functions:

• Technological advancements and their impact on productivity growth

• Analysis of production functions in the context of evolving technologies

• Measurement and evaluation of technological contributions to economic output

3. General Purpose Technology:

• Study of technologies that have broad and pervasive impacts on various industries

• Analysis of the economic implications of general-purpose technologies

• Exploration of the relationship between general-purpose technologies and economic growth

4. System, Network, and Platform Economics:

• Economic analysis of complex technological systems, networks, and platforms

• Examination of the effects of network effects, platform dynamics, and ecosystem interactions

• Economic models and policies for fostering innovation and competition in platform-based industries

5. Techno-Physio Evolution:

• Understanding the co-evolution of technology and physical systems

• Analysis of the interplay between technological progress and physiological aspects

• Economic implications of the integration of technology with the human body and the environment

6. Evolution, Discovery, and Design:

• Investigation of the evolutionary processes of technological change and innovation

• Study of the role of discovery and design in technological advancements
