Recent advances in neo-Schumpeterian economics [Book] : essays in honour of Horst Hanusch / edited by Andreas Pyka ... [et al.].

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This judicious selection of recent essays demonstrates the applicability of the fundamental principles of Neo-Schumpeterian economics, namely innovation and uncertainty. The authors demonstrate how Neo-Schumpeterian economics is developing into a comprehensive economic theory encompassing industry, the public sector and financial markets. Neo-Schumpeterian economics has become a prolific field with a major orientation towards innovation-driven industrial dynamics. However, a truly comprehensive Neo-Schumpeterian approach argues that innovation is also an important element in both the public and financial sectors. For example, a lack of public infrastructure or speculative bubbles on financial markets can hinder or even prevent economic development. The expert contributions to this book deal with the future orientation of the subject in terms of innovative performance in the industrial, financial and public sectors. "Recent Advances in Neo-Schumpeterian Economics" can be considered a first attempt to substantiate the comprehensive Neo-Schumpeterian approach, of which Horst Hanusch has been a leading proponent. This unique and path-breaking book will be of great interest and value to researchers in the fields of innovation, industrial economics, financial markets and the public sector.
