Dr Thomas Pogue

Thomas Pogue is a Research Fellow at IERI and Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Economics and Finance, Tshwane University of Technology. His research focuses on three inter-related themes: collaborative innovation, human resource mobility, and systems of innovation. Prior to joining IERI, he worked at several research institutes including the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the University of Cape Town's Development Policy Research Unit, and the University of Nevada's Center for Economic Development. In that work an initial concern with sustainable regional economic development in rural mineral dependent communities evolved into an interest in the economics of technological change and its relationship to development. He has taught economics at several higher education institutions, including Maastricht University in The Netherlands, the University of Cape Town, and the University of Nevada, Reno in the United States.
