Innovation, Technology and Economic Change (The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series, 306)
Book details
Summary
Description
Several attempts have been made since the 1970s to collect key scholarly papers and document the progress of the field of innovation studies. The collection of papers included in this new title, most of which were published after the turn of the millennium, stands on the shoulders of these earlier volumes and seeks to provide a broad overview of recent progress in research on innovation and economic change. In their choice of papers, the editors address the characteristics of the field of innovation studies and its relationship to other areas of (social) science: innovation in firms; factors influencing firms' innovation performance; innovation systems; innovation and economic 'catch-up' and, finally, policy issues for innovation.
Including an original introduction by the editors, Innovation, Technology and Economic Change brings together the most important recent papers in the area together in a comprehensive collection to provide an invaluable resource for academics and students alike.
36 articles, dating from 1996 to 2013
Contributors include: M. Abramovitz, W. Cohen, P.A. David, C. Edquist, B. Hall, S. Klepper, B.R. Martin, S. Stern, D. Teece
