Njalsson's research on public policy determination in the field of national innovation and technology programmes draws some ideas from the field of Cognitive and Occupational Psychology, in that he has in several works proposed that different interest and occupational groups may formulate problems and the solutions to the problems in differing ways in part based upon their cognitive and occupational background. Njalsson refers to this phenomenon as ''problem-solution mindsets'' and describes those with differing profiles for example as ''technocrats'' or ''econocrats''.<ref name="Njalsson">{{cite journal | last =Njalsson| first=Gunnar K.
