Each volume in a series of SpringerBriefs on NIC and the financial crisis provides in-depth coverage of the impact of the crisis, the aftermath, future prospects, and policy implications for a regional cluster.  This volume focuses on Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5504 ;$v7 606 $aIntellectual capital 606 $aFinancial crises 615 0$aIntellectual capital. 615 0$aFinancial crises. 676 $a332.042 700 $aLin$b Carol Yeh-Yun$0941421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438079103321 996 $aNational Intellectual Capital and the Financial Crisis in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain$92512025 997 $aUNINA
