The knowledge‐based economy: intellectual origins and new economic perspectives
梳理知识经济的思想起源和支撑它的新经济理论，讨论知识创造与分配如何驱动经济增长、收入分配、企业网络及政府与商业关系，并评述回报率、地理溢出和知识流动国际化的实证证据。
This paper discusses the intellectual origins of the knowledge‐based economy or KBE, and recent economic theories used to provide an intellectual foundation for the KBE. The KBE is the dominant post‐industrial economic development paradigm that emerged in the 1980s, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation and distribution as the primary driver in the process of economic growth, the distribution of income, the growing importance of knowledge‐based networks among firms, and the interface between government business and citizens in the advanced economies. Recent empirical evidence on rates of return, geographic spillovers, and the internationalization of knowledge flows are discussed in relation to the theoretical foundations of the KBE.
