Robert Zoellick challenge and global economic crisis

[Renato Matheus]

Dear list members and social network researchers, 
 
I've just created a facebook group to debate Mr. Robert Zoellick, president of The World Bank, challenge. He proposed the creation of a new multilateral economic collaboration network to deal with problems that are beyond present G7 structure. 
 
He said: “We need a Facebook for multilateral economic diplomacy.” (Source: http://www.worldbank.org.pl/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/COUNTRIES/ECAEXT/POLANDEXTN/0,,contentMDK:21929863~pagePK:1497618~piPK:217854~theSitePK:304795,00.html?cid=3001). 
 
The main goal of this new facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=38002907602) is to debate how scientific research on social network analysis could support a "network for frequent interaction" in order to provide data, network analysis and networking sites and other applications to improve economic relationships in a global networked economy. The focus is on scientific information and social network approach. 
 
I'd be glad to have researchers interested in social network economic analysis as members. 
 
Thank you,
Congratulations,

The following recent paper:

Despina G. Contopoulos-Ioannidis, George A. Alexiou, Theodore C.
Gouvias,
and John P. A. Ioannidis, "Life Cycle of Translational Research for
Medical
Interventions," Science (5 September 2008) Vol. 321, no. 5894, 1298 -
1299.

(link: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/321/5894/1298)


may be of interest to those following this thread.  Alma mentions
measurements of ROI, and the paper is an attempt to measure the time
between
an initial discovery and a highly-cited clinical trial showing effective
intervention.  One can imagine expanding this study to encompass
clinical
trials that did not have a positive outcome, or automating the process
in
order to cover a representative sample of *all* reported trials, so as
to
paint a better picture of actual ROI.

In case the paper is of interest, Janet Stemwedel's blog post about it
will
likely be useful also:
