La conoscenza è un bene economico fondamentale che può essere ricondotto alle caratteristiche di merce e in quanto tale prodotto e scambiato solo attraverso processi istituzionali particolari: la conoscenza è una merce speciale. Il mercato, inteso come meccanismo istituzionale di organizzazione dello scambio e quindi della produzione e allocazione delle risorse, è, in tutta evidenza, un meccanismo inadeguato a organizzare la produzione e lo scambio della conoscenza come merce. Integrazioni e correzioni sono indispensabili. La radicale sostituzione del mercato con meccanismi di governo pubblico pare del resto altrettanto insufficiente a organizzare una adeguata allocazione delle risorse e un'efficace direzione e coordinamento della produzione di conoscenza: lo scarto drammatico tra i successi della scienza prodotti dal sistema sovietico e la sua arretratezza tecnologica offre ampio materiale di riflessione. La nozione di regime di crescita Schumpeteriana consente di analizzare i processi di costruzione e funzionamento di quei meccanismi ibridi di coordinamento e stimolo alla produzione e valorizzazione della conoscenza che sono stati di volta in volta posti in essere nei sistemi economici nel corso del tempo.

The ongoing process of revising and rethinking the foundations of economic theory leads to great complexities and contradictions at the heart of economics. 'Economics of innovation' provides a fertile challenge to standard economics, and one that can help it overcome its many criticisms.This authoritative book from Cristiano Antonelli provides a systematic account of recent advances in the economics of innovation. By integrating this account with the economics of technological change, this exceptional book elaborates an understanding of the effects of the introduction of new technologies.This

This volume presents a comprehensive assessment of the economic effects of the emerging information and communication technologies associated with a knowledge-based economy, and looks at how knowledge is increasingly treated as a product in its own right. An original framework is developed to comprehend these fundamental shifts, based on three bodies of knowledge: * the economics of path dependence and of historical time as they are elaborated in the economics of new technologies * economic topology based on the methodology of network analysis * the new economics of knowledge and the concept o
