Publisher Marketing: Although some researchers have always been interested in the role of innovation in creating long-term economic growth, the groundbreaking work of Solow (1957), Nelson (1959) and Arrow (1962) made many other economists recognize the central role played by innovation in almost all spheres of economic activity. This text presents an overview of work in the field of innovation and technical change. It collects 22 contributions that reflect the results of worldwide research efforts and remind us of the importance of economic incentives in shaping and directing innovative activities. The volume presents an edited selection of papers that were first presented at the 10th International ADRES conference.
