Induced Innovation and Economic Performance in Late Victorian British Industry
研究检验了晚期维多利亚时代英国工业中是否存在诱导创新（一种内生的技术变革理论），以解释经济表现迟缓的原因，并与英美其他技术研究对比。
Previous “new” economic history research on late Victorian Britain often assumes that technology was exogenous to British entrepreneurs. Foreign innovations were available for inspection, and if they were not found suitable, there was no way to adapt new techniques to the British situation. Alternatively, one can assert that technological failure is a key issue in any study of retarded economic performance. A test for the presence of induced innovation—an endogenous theory of technological change—is applied to the British pig iron and cotton textile industries. Results are compared to other technological studies of British and American industry.
