Technical Change, Growth and Trade: New Departures in Institutional Economics
分析演化-制度经济学中关于技术变革的主要理论和政策问题，指出技术的专有性、知识可编码性有限、不同技术领域差异大以及知识演化路径依赖等特征。
This article analyses the main theoretical and policy issues emerging from the literature on the evolutionary‐institutional economics of technical change, the four distinguishing characteristics of which are that technology is often proprietary in nature; only a part of knowledge is codifiable in handbooks, blueprints, patents, and so on; there are fundamental variations in the above two points across different technological fields; and the evolution of knowledge is highly path‐dependent.
