Studies of economic performance suggest that technological innovation is a principal engine of the economy. Recent data show a striking relationship between the growth of information technology and the sustained robust growth of the U.S. economy. Yet the factors that determine innovation are poorly understood. This project analyzes the relationship between technological innovation and economic performance through the commissioning of new assessments of the theoretical and historical literature as well as nine industry studies (e.g., Internet, securities trading, and energy) and country studies(United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Nordic group and Japan). The primary focus is on deriving implications for effective economic. The final product will be an edited book and several major articles by Benn Steil and David Victor.
