Innovazione, crescita ed economia basata sulla conoscenza

Schilirò, Daniele (2022): Innovazione, crescita ed economia basata sulla conoscenza.

Abstract

Innovation is the key to long-term growth. The starting point of this contribution is Schumpeter's theory of innovation. The relationship between innovation and policies aimed at fostering innovative activity is also discussed. The data of the Global Innovation Index relating to 2021 are illustrated to capture the dynamics of the countries that carry out innovative activities most successfully. Related to the themes of innovation and growth there is that of the knowledge-based economy, which in recent years has favored the development "Fourth Industrial Revolution" thanks to the digital technologies, robotics and artificial intelligence. Finally, the knowledge economy index developed by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is examined.
