Technology and Competitiveness

Oxford Review of Economic Policy, 1996, vol. 12, issue 3, 39-51

Abstract: This paper reviews the literature on technology and competitiveness. First, the concept of the international competitiveness of a country, and various theoretical approaches on the relationship between trade and growth, are discussed. Then a number of empirical studies of the impact of technology (as evidenced by R&D, patents, etc.) on exports are examined. The final section summarizes the evidence and considers the lessons for policy. Copyright 1996 by Oxford University Press.
