| Title | International Comparison of National Policy Instruments and Innovation Systems for Technology Development |
| Abstract | High level of education does not necessarily mean the automatic creation of technological
dynamism and productivity catch-up if institutionalized inactivity in R&D is not averted.
What is needed is the type of national innovation system that facilitates new knowledge being
generated by universities, exploited by laboratories and commercialized by firms. With such an
environment for technological learning and innovation occurring, the sources of dynamic growth
can adequately be fostered through the combination of technological, organizational,
institutional and human capabilities. A comprehensive analysis of policy instruments across selected countries reveals the effectiveness of the public innovation policy instruments, both fiscal and non-fiscal, that each country employs to stimulate investments in R&D in the enterprise sector with varying degree of success. |
