| Short Description of Subj. | While there is no linear determinism in economic development, large-scale patterns have been identified in economic, industrial and technological dynamics. As suggested by Schumpeter, these patterns are associated with the occurrence of successive technological revolutions. This course provides a set of tools for understanding and analyzing technical change, from the minor and frequent incremental innovations constantly incorporated into products and services, to the major surges of transformation that change the techno-economic paradigm for the whole economy. The course discusses the nature, genesis and different stages of diffusion of techno-economic paradigms, their impact on socio-economic institutions and on the changing windows of opportunity for development. |
