Economics of science, technology and innovation: theoretical foundations and the global economy

Abstract

The book Economics of science, technology and innovation - theoretical foundations and the global economy, organized by Márcia Siqueira Rapini, Leandro Alves Silva and Eduardo da Motta and Albuquerque, seeks to analyze in a systematic way the various mediations necessary to understand the relationship between technological progress and economic development. Therefore, based on the initiative of coordinating researchers from the Center for Development and Regional Planning (Cedeplar), from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), the work benefits from a wide range of efforts by a network of researchers with the history of more than a decade of collaboration in collective and individual institutional projects articulated in a national perspective around the theme of the book.
