The Tacit Knowledge Economy

Implementing Agenda 21 in such a way to keep, preserve traditional and tacit knowledge avoiding the research of innovation for the sake of innovation.

Moreover, tacit knowledge is vast and growing, so that only a miniscule fraction of it fits in anybody s head. But most products require much more knowledge than fits in anybody s head, so that making them requires teams of people with different pieces of knowledge, not unlike a symphonic orchestra.

The key to this puzzle is tacit knowledge. To make stuff, you need to know how to make it, and this knowledge is, to a large extent, latent not available in books, but stored in the brains of those who need to use it.

Getting more tacit knowledge is easier said than done, because economies can offer experience only on the basis of current jobs. How do people learn to do jobs that do not yet exist?

The recently deceased economist Steven Klepper argued that industries tend to cluster in particular cities simply because new firms are formed mainly by workers who leave other successful firms, taking the relevant tacit knowledge with them. Indeed, a large literature on knowledge spillovers points to their remarkably narrow geographic range.

The current situation amounted to tacit acceptance of discrimination based on class, race, gender and age.

Diasporas are not gusanos or worms, as Fidel Castro refers to Cubans abroad. They are a channel through which not only money, but also much tacit knowledge, can flow, and they are a potential source of opportunities for trade, investment, innovation, and professional networks.

Recent research at Harvard University s Center for International Development (CID) suggests that tacit knowledge flows through amazingly slow and narrow channels. The productivity of Nuevo León, Mexico, is higher than in South Korea, but that of Guerrero, another Mexican state, resembles levels in Honduras.

The tacit reluctance of men to support women's self fulfillment, as a direct result of persistent sociocultural attitudes.

Nevertheless, the absence of protest from States parties should not be read as tacit acceptance by them of the incompatible reservation.

That's all it is, but that's all that's needed because what it does is it takes the tacit information available to the whole population everybody knows where the violence is, but no one person knows what everyone knows and it takes that tacit information and it aggregates it, and it maps it and it makes it public.

It is easier to move brains than it is to move tacit knowledge into brains, and not only in Mexico. For example, as the CID s Frank Neffke has shown, when new industries are launched in German and Swedish cities, it is mostly because entrepreneurs and firms from other cities move in, bringing with them skilled workers with relevant industry experience.

The bottom line is that urbanization, schooling, and Internet access are woefully insufficient to transmit effectively the tacit knowledge required to be productive. That is why today s emerging markets are so much less productive than rich countries were in 1960, even though the latter were less urban, had higher birth rates and less formal schooling, and used much older technologies.

In both cases, there appears to have been tacit confirmation of the act, in the first case through the Government's attitude and, in the second, through the promulgation of several laws.

After all, genuine leadership cannot come from raw power, but only from other states consent or tacit acceptance. If leadership could be built on brute force, schoolyard bullies would be class presidents.

Moreover, the mere fact that such assurances are sought is arguably a tacit admission by the sending State that the transferred person is indeed at risk of being tortured or ill treated.

In the complainant's view, by failing seriously to contest the facts and or the legal arguments put forward, the State party has in effect expressed its tacit, yet clear, acceptance of both.

Sixth, it is necessary to prevent a situation whereby silence on the part of the Russian Federation could be invoked against it in the future as a tacit acceptance of or acquiescence in the claims of Turkmenistan.

The issue is complicated further by Turkey s refusal to negotiate directly with the Kurdish Regional Government in northern Iraq. Such talks, Turkey fears, would offer tacit acknowledgement that Iraqi Kurds have won a degree of autonomy from Baghdad.

So far as the violations of human rights of certain religious minorities were concerned, it was evident that tacit support for some forms of violence existed and that certain religious minorities such as the Baha'i were being persecuted.

For Pascal, scientific knowledge paled beside the knowledge of God.

So, unlike in Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgizstan, and Lebanon, it does nothing to encourage popular opposition. As long as the Saudi regime meets America s oil needs and fights Islamist radicals, it will continue to receive US support and silence and hence its tacit consent.

Second, even if Khamenei hands the nuclear portfolio to Rowhani (which is not certain, given that he retained it under Ahmadinejad), the new president must come to terms with the IRGC, whose support at least tacit is necessary for any nuclear deal.
