Global Economic Prospects and the Developing
Countries (GEP); |
| description |
This Global Economic Prospects (GEP) is
being released during a period of increased uncertainty
following four years of record growth in developing
countries, and a 15-year period of steady declines in
poverty. Global growth slowed modestly in 2007, coming at
3.5 percent after 3.9 percent in 2006. Most of the slowdown
was due to weaker growth in high-income countries. This GEP
seeks to develop a better understanding of technology and
its diffusion within the developing world. It adopts a broad
definition of technology and technological progress, that
encompasses the techniques (including the way the production
process is organized) by which goods and services are
produced, marketed, and made available to the public. This
report takes a quantitative approach to understanding
technology and technological progress. In chapter 2, it
explores the level of, and recent trends in, technological
achievement, as well as the process by which technology
diffuses between and within countries. Chapter 3
concentrates on the process by which countries absorb
foreign technology, both mechanisms through which they are
exposed to foreign technologies, and the domestic factors
that dictate how successfully those technologies are absorbed. |
