Academic interests

In his work, Allan studies innovation and industrial change processes associated with broader societal challenges with particular attention to sustainability transitions. Allan focuses on the interaction of technology, actor strategies, policy, politics, society and culture. This concerns both the emergence of new technological fields as well as the transformation of established technological systems.

Background

Allan Dahl Andersen has a bachelor in economics from Aalborg University. From the same university he has a master degree in Innovation, Knowledge and Economic dynamics (MIKE). He has an additional master degree (cum laude) in economics from Universiteit van Amsterdam with a major in development economics and a minor in institutional economics. Allan did his PhD in Economics of Innovation with the IKE-group at Aalborg University. His PhD work centered around the role of natural resources in economic development, theoretical issues of building and transforming systems of innovation, and analyzing the evolution of the sugarcane-biofuel industry in Brazil as a (sectoral) natural-resource based innovation system.

Teaching

Within the Master-level course “Innovation and Global Challenges” (TIK4021) Allan teaches on the module “Innovation and sustainability transitions".
