The Economics of Technology Transfer

The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series

Edited by the late Sanjaya Lall, formerly Professor of Development Economics, Oxford University (at the International Development Centre at Queen Elizabeth House), UK

The Economics of Technology Transfer presents a selection of the most important articles in the field, many of which are not easily accessible. The volume pays particular attention to issues facing developing countries in the context of rapid technical change, globalisation of production and the international spread of innovation itself.

‘This is an excellent collection of readings on the economics of technology transfer. The editor has done scholars and teachers of the subject a great service by bringing them to one place. This volume makes a valuable addition to our libraries, and our teaching materials.’
哥伦比亚Unive——理查德·r·纳尔逊rsity, US

‘The editor of this collection of papers, Sanjaya Lall, is an outstanding researcher on the economics of technical change. This new book The Economics of Technology Transfer brings together twenty of the best papers on this hitherto rather neglected subject. It is very welcome and highly relevant to the contemporary debate on "globalisation".’
