Implications for development (1) Different factors shape the rate and direction of innovative and imitative search • technological capabilities of agents • production capacities, which concern the stocks of resources, the nature of capital‑embodied technologies, labor skills, product and input specification and the organizational routines • the sectoral specificities of the technology in question • path-depended trajectories of firms (or countries), which shape the collective knowledge shared by agents in each socio-economic system and that define the entourage where firms (or countries) are likely to move in their search for innovation • the (non-rational) perception of innovative opportunities, irrespectively of whether relative prices change or not, which might lead to the discovery of intended and unintended new techniques. Legal appropriability mechanisms, i.e. prevailing intellectual property norms, classify as second order effect factors in shaping innovative and imitative conducts in countries that still have to catch up in terms of production capacities and technological capabilities embodied in socio-institutional systems.
Implications for development (2) • Behavioral microfoundations of innovative conducts and the role of IP rights • Asymmetry in countries’ scientific, technological and production capacities • Participation and exclusion in contemporary markets for knowledge
