Summary
"Economic growth has traditionally been attributed to the increase in national production arising from technological innovation. Nevertheless, the relationship between patents and economic growth remains uncertain. This relationship, which forms the focus of this book, is examined by means of a panel of seventy-nine countries bridging the North-South divide for the period 1996-2013"-- Provided by publisher.
