ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role of regional spillovers of knowledge in Brazilian municipalities. The main hypothesis here is that regional inequalities restrict the knowledge spillovers in developing economies. We use a random-effects spatial panel model with data for two years, 2010 and 2015. Estimations indicate that regional spillovers of knowledge are important for innovation in Brazilian municipalities. The local scientific structure and economic specialization are also relevant for municipal innovativeness. The findings herein also provide evidence suggesting that spillovers are spatially restricted and will tend to reinforce the long-term regional imbalances in the Brazilian innovation system in the foreseeable future.

ABSTRACT As inequality rises around the world, practitioners of science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy need to consider their roles in exacerbating or mitigating it. Unless they are specifically designed to do otherwise, national and regional STI policies tend to increase inequality. Alternative designs are available, however, to use STI policy in ways that improve lives in low-resource households, reduce horizontal inequalities, and help to close the gaps between rich and poor. The size of the impact of these options is impossible to determine with current information but the potential is significant.

ABSTRACT The field of innovation studies is in a crisis: it is a victim of its success. This is because – along with the increasing popularity and use – the clarity of the innovation concept seems to be deflated. More importantly, this field also suffers a methodological crisis. Specifically, there seems to be an increased tendency to turn around the normal relationship between theory, policy and practice: rather than deriving policies from empirically informed theories, there are emerging tendencies for abstract policy ideas to inform theory instead. This paper shows how the work on so-called ‘social innovation’ and on ‘transformative innovation policy’ is leading these tendencies. It argues that these tendencies that are inconsistent with scientific principles are detrimental to the poor and technology-constrained countries. Such countries need evidence-informed innovation policy derived from empirically informed theoretical propositions to build their technological capabilities and spur social and economic development. But the new approaches seem to be weakening the ability of innovation studies to inform policy which is effective for actions in developing countries. The diffusion of these new frameworks is kicking away the ladder. This article thus calls upon innovation and development scholars to put things right by revisiting the emerging models.

ABSTRACT This study analyzed the factors behind the innovation paradox in developing countries using the innovation system perspective. Considering the central role of interactive learning in innovation, we analyzed the relative role of Science Technology Inovation (STI) and Doing Using Interacting (DUI) mode of learning in determining TFP and the inter-industry variation therein. The study used the firm-level panel data from India’s manufacturing sector. The results highlight the significance of interactive learning, both STI and DUI, on firm productivity. While STI mode of learning has a greater role in high-technology industries, in the case of low-technology industries DUI is more important. Despite the positive role of STI mode, DUI mode turns out to be the most widely preferred strategy. These findings suggest that innovation policy in developing countries needs to be cognizant of the crucial role of DUI in innovation and make the case for a balanced approach towards promoting STI and DUI mode of learning.

ABSTRACT This article examines how the literature on innovation in developing countries has developed in the social science-related disciplines over the last two decades. While increasing fourfold in the last decade compared to the decade before, the bulk is on middle-income emerging economies. These emerging economies, especially China, increasingly shape the thematic orientation of the literature. In this respect, low-income countries remain marginal, and research on them is rather fragmented. Furthermore, new disciplinary fields that did not exist or were small 20 years ago have been central in the literature's overall advance. Yet, it is mainly informed by theoretical concepts developed in the rich world and outside innovation and development studies. However, we argue that the innovation and development research community is well positioned to inform this increasing interest in innovation in developing countries. To do so, it should strengthen its core with grounded theory building, seek complementarities with other theoretical traditions, and endorse openness and collaboration with development research in domains such as agriculture, energy and health. This may strengthen the ability of the community to better inform policies for societal change.

ABSTRACT Researchers have long recognized multiple ways of innovating. However, the expositions fail to connect the microeconomics of production sets to the real-world institutional variety required to build technological capabilities and innovate. This paper argues for explicit attention to institutional variety in the heuristics used in innovation policy and practice, and analyses three such heuristics. While some types of social challenges can be addressed through formal science and industrial R&D, the most common proxies for innovation, most industrializing contexts will require changes in institutions and organizations to frame and solve local development problems. The analysis thus bridges the traditional microeconomics of production sets with innovation and development priorities.

ABSTRACT The digital economy has led to significant socio-economic transformations in all aspects of our society and livelihoods. While there is a growing literature on the effect of digital platforms on development, none consolidates the available evidence from a development perspective. In this systematic literature review, we grouped the available literature into three main themes and critically synthesize and analyse the role of digital technology and digital platforms on the development of the modern economy. To enable the inclusion of a wide array of published papers, we allowed for relevant quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies globally. This approach allows us to reflect on the role of digital platforms for development more broadly as well as discuss opportunities for future research.

ABSTRACT The aim of the essay is to reflect on how Freeman’s intellectual work linked to some of his contributions on the relationships between STI, Society and Development, including the role of STI policy and the Innovation System approach, influence my academic work. In particular, on the understanding and theoretical–conceptual, methodological and empirical analysis I make of both the processes of knowledge production and its creative use for economic-productive and social purposes. To this end, I propose to revisit Freeman’s work, identifying ideas, concepts and relationships that contribute to the understanding of the phenomena I study.
