‘A brilliant, articulate and eminently readable collection of essays by one of Norway’s leading economists.’
– Angus Maddison, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
‘For over 20 years, Jan Fagerberg has been one of the most authoritative and also one of the most original writers on the theory of economic growth. He combines a deep grounding in classical growth theory with a thorough critical understanding of the quantitative techniques used in many contemporary and recent growth models. His own approach is characterised by breadth of historical analysis as well as quantitative empirical rigour. This is a rare combination and these essays deserve to be very widely read and discussed.’
– Christopher Freeman, SPRU – Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex, UK and Maastricht University, The Netherlands
This outstanding collection charts the work of Jan Fagerberg on the relationship between technology, growth and international competitiveness. With an original introduction and a mix of previously published and unpublished material, the book covers all the main issues including: the technology gap and differences of growth and welfare; structural factors in the growth of exports and production, and the relationship between growth of GDP and trade performance. The final chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and applied work on technology and competitiveness.
