| Summary: | The literature on technological change
and growth has mainly used econometric models to establish
that factors, such as the degree of openness, skills,
research and development expenditures, number of patents
etc., are critical determinants of innovation and its effect
on growth. However, this approach fails to explain the role
of institutions and policies that created the environment
for innovation. Using 10 case studies from developing
countries, this publication examines how governments
fostered technological adaptation through public-private
partnerships to develop world-class exporters in
high-growth, non-traditional industries. |
