About this title

Synopsis:

How does innovation emerge from normal economic activity? Economic Interdependence and Innovative Activity is an original new book which seeks to answer this question by reconciling inter-industrial analysis with the study of innovation.
This major new book seeks to provide a bridge between economic statics and the dynamics of growth and development. As well as offering important and original empirical data for Canada, France, Italy, Greece and China, the authors make a series of theoretical advances and propose a new way to observe the innovative process as well as new analytical tools to examine innovative activity. Their central thesis is that innovative outputs emerge out of increased social interactions, and division of labour through co-operative networks. An authoritative theoretical introduction and some thought-provoking conclusions have been prepared by Christian DeBresson.
Economic Interdependence and Innovative Activity will encourage input-output economists to encompass innovative activities in dynamic models and innovation researchers to look at technical interdependencies.
