Reinventing industrial policy at the frontier: catalysing learning and innovation in Brazil
本文重新审视了学习在经济发展和创新中的核心作用，通过巴西生物基产业政府项目的实地研究，展示了产业政策如何被重塑以催化企业在技术前沿的创新。
Our argument revalidates and advances the idea of learning that is central to literatures on economic development, innovation and industrial policy. Global shifts where developing countries are advancing and innovating at the technological frontier challenge the conventional view of learning that focused on adapting existing technologies from advanced economies to build domestic firms’ capabilities. Our research contributes to capture new dynamics of innovation, emerging technologies and government industrial policy, crucial in the learning perspective. Our field study of Brazilian government programmes in the bio-based industry illustrates how industrial policy is reinvented to catalyse firm innovation at the technological frontier.
