Economic Policy and Technological Performance by Partha Dasgupta
A growing awareness of the contribution that technological change has made and can make to economic and social welfare has brought science and technology policy to the forefront of public discussions in both national and international forums. The papers in this volume, first presented at a Centre for Economic Policy Research conference held in London in September 1986 on the Economics of Technology Policy, represent a wide ranging contribution to the debate. Generally aimed at the non-specialist, the papers cover both the experience and application of policy as well as providing in-depth discussions of the rationale for intervention in the process of technological change. The authors include both policy-makers (Barber, Ergas and White) and the academic economists (Dasgupta, David, Griliches, Lyons, Pakes, Stiglitz and Stoneman). The volume will be of particular interest to policy-makers and their advisers concerned with technology-related issues and will contribute significantly to undergraduate and graduate courses in the same area.Professor Paul Stoneman is Research Professor in the Marketing and Strategic Management Group and Head of the Technological Innovations Research Unit in Warwick Business School. He has held visiting positions at Stanford and Nuffield College, Oxford. He has published widely on the Economics of
Innovation especially as regards the diffusion of new technology and technology policy. He is author of one of the earliest studies of computerization in the UK as well as texts on technological change and technology policy, with a recent volume on technological diffusion. Past papers have appeared
inter alia in the Rand Journal of Economics, the Economic Journal and The Journal of Industrial Economics.
