Overview
Traditional approaches to creating employment and economic growth have failed in the 1990s. A new understanding of what creates jobs and drives growth has emerged in a cross-disciplinary approach which combines industrial organization, the economics of technological change, labor economics, and international economics. The new approach focuses on the dynamics of firms and industries as sources of innovation (and consequently increased competitiveness, job creation, and economic growth), and emphasizes the shift in economic activity based on traditional factors of production to being based on new economic knowledge.Book Details
