Abstract: Growing from agricultural economies to major regional innovator, both Taiwan and Ireland are regarded as small island countries that performed economic miracles. As such, we believe they should be assessed in different historical and institutional contexts so that key policy lessons might be identified. This study evaluates the differences between these two nations in the production of visible innovative output, and investigates how variations in innovation policy have an impact on performance in both cases.
