| Summary: | The paper argues that there is a greater
commonality of approach between the National Innovation
Systems approach and mainstream economic analysis than is
often asserted, and that a better dialogue between the two
could strengthen both perspectives. To this end, the paper
uses an off-the-shelf neoclassical model to provide a
tentative structure for what a National Innovation Systems
schematic might look like and where its boundaries should
be. Simulations from the model suggest how present
benchmarking techniques may be misleading. |
