Abstract: The economics of services is seeking an appropriate theory of innovation. A priori, a neo-Schumpeterian approach does not seem incompatible with the principal traits of the service economy. This article poses the following question. To what extent do neo-Schumpeterian analyses of innovation account for innovation in services? It offers a critical appraisal of attempts to apply these ideas to services, from simple conceptual and methodological transpositions (transposition of analyses of paradigms, technological trajectories and sectoral taxonomies of forms of technical change) to attempts to create more complete theoretical constructs.
