Technological change is not only a determinant of growth but is also a pivotal factor in international competition and the modernization of an economy. In one of the most in-depth and detailed studies of its kind, George Korres analyzes the macroeconomic and the microeconomic factors influencing the economics of innovation and the economic relations between technology, innovation, knowledge and productivity. In particular, this book examines both the theoretical framework and the applications for empirical results. This second edition contributes updated figures and estimations for technical change from EU member states and features new subjects, including growth models, productivity models, production function models and non-parametric models. In one of the most in-depth and detailed studies of its kind, this book captures all the existing contemporary techniques in the theoretical fields as well as the empirical applications of the models.

Key Figures 2003-2004 provides a set of indicators, which help us to take stock of Europe's position in science, technology and the knowledge economy. The report contains graphs, tables and comparative analyses of the European Union's performance in relation to its main partners. On the eve of enlargement of the European Union, the report also presents, for the first time, extensive data for the Acceding Countries, and as much data as possible for the EU Candidate countries. Part I of the report examines EU investment in the knowledge-based economy through indicators of R&D expenditure, venture capital, human resources and education. Part II considers the results of this investment in terms of EU performance in scientific output, patenting, and competitiveness in high technology industries and products.
