Work Package 4
Work Package 4 is one of the most ambitious of ResIST’s research efforts, and promises significant advances in our understanding of how new technologies impact economies and in what circumstances, and at what rate, they are likely to form a platform for balanced growth through broadening employment, reducing costs, or improving public services. Whilst this is a significant distance from the development of formal tools for broadening technology assessment to take account of these effects, it will provide a qualitative framework for policy use which will increase awareness of the issues, and of possible palliative measures.
