The International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society and the Schumpeterian Research Program—A Retrospective Perspective
摘要
This chapter analyzes the development of the International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society's research agenda since 1986 and outlines a future program for a Schumpeterian transformational economics. It identifies six overlapping phases. Early work focuses on neo-Schumpeterian microeconomics and knowledge-based innovation analysis. Later phases address systems politics, industrial development, and the relationship between micro-processes and macro-outcomes. More recently, the focus has shifted to radical innovation, sustainability, and transformative change. To improve the understanding of those dimensions this chapter calls for a more in-depth, micro-based analysis of transformative structural change and the development of corresponding stylized empirical facts. Only on this basis can problem-appropriate policymaking to accompany transformative change succeed. The chapter concludes with remarks on the influence of the New Geopolitics on transformative patterns and processes.
