Growth and Development: A Schumpeterian Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the so-called Schumpeterian approach to economic growth, in which growth is primarily driven by entrepreneurial innovations that are themselves influenced by the institutional environment. We argue that this more micro-founded approach both, questions the old divisions between growth and development economics, and also provides the analytical tools to design successful; strategies and appropriate institutions to achieve fast convergence and sustainable growth in countries at different initial levels of technological development. c © 2004 Peking University Press

First, it has developed models based on creative destruction that shed new light on several microeconomic aspects of the growth process:...
