Barriers to innovation

Diego de Moraes Silva and Nicholas S. Vonortas

Chapter 1 in Elgar Encyclopedia on the Economics of Knowledge and Innovation, 2022, pp 12-21 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The literature on innovation barriers is expanding from an output approach (barriers affecting innovation outputs) towards an input approach (barriers affecting innovation inputs) (Antonioli, Marzucchi, and Savona 2017; Arza and L√≥pez 2021; de-Oliveira and Rodil-Marz√°bal 2019; De Fuentes, Santiago, and Temel 2020; Moraes Silva, Lucas, and Vonortas 2020; Zahler, Goya, and Caamaño 2018). In this short chapter, we sketch this novel understanding that innovation barriers play a moderation role over the effect of innovation determinants on company innovativeness. We first summarize innovation determinants relying on a long stream of literature addressing company propensity to innovate (OECD 2018) and then move into obstacles and policy implications.
