Biens de luxe et innovations en économie socialiste: le cas des habanos

Rémy Herrera

Innovations, 2013, vol. n°41, issue 2, 139-152

Abstract: This article deals with the relationships between luxury goods and innovations within the framework of a Socialist country. An original example is taken with the Habanos, the Cuban luxury cigars. In a first part, we analyse the main tendencies of the tobacco sector in general, and those of luxury tobacco in particular, in the case of Cuba. In a second part, the emphasis is put on the coexistence of traditional methods and the different forms of innovations characterizing this specific sector. These innovations can be scientific and technological ones, or linked to the production processes or to the products. JEL Codes: O13, O31, P32, Q16
