Innovation and Catching-Up (2006, result): “This reading of the evidence is also confirmed by a recent econometric study by Fagerberg and Verspagen (2002), which found that the conditions for catch-up have become more stringent over time, with ever-greater demands on the technological capabilities and innovative efforts of countries striving…”
Innovation and Economic Development (2009, background): “Moreover, evidence presented in Fagerberg and Verspagen (2002) suggests that the importance of innovation for development is increasing with time, highlighting the urgency of the matter for policy makers in the developing world.”
A place-based developmental regional industrial strategy for sustainable capture of co-created value (2018, background): “(14)The requisite conditions for achieving these are not easy, and are arguably becoming more stringent in developing countries, (Boltho and Allsopp 1987; Stiglitz, 2001; Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2002).”
Innovation and the competitiveness of industries: comparing the mainstream and the evolutionary approaches (2008, background): “industrial structure increases its absorptive capacity and, hence, its ability to imitate foreign advanced technologies [ 82 ,83].”
Export variety and the economic performance of countries (2008, background): “More recent empirical work by Fagerberg (2000) and by Fagerberg and Verspagen (2002) confirmed the general importance of structural change but pointed to its changed role with respect to the periods studied by Salter and by Cornwall.”
The dynamics of national innovation systems: a panel cointegration analysis of the coevolution between innovative capability and absorptive capacity (2011, background): “Inspired by these original insights, theoretical models in the technology-gap (or distance-tofrontier) tradition have developed a more stylized notion of absorptive capacity, and often focused on human capital as the single most important factor shaping a country’s capability to imitate and absorb f”
Surveying structural change: Seminal contributions and a bibliometric account (2008, background): “47 Recent work in this area (Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2002) suggests that catching up on the basis of diffusion has become more difficult in the more recent period, whereas innovation has increased its relative importance.”
New Competition; Foreign Direct Investment and Industrial Development in China (2004, background): “In the context of globalisation of technology and innovation, successful economies are characterised by autonomous innovation activities and by the ability to absorb global technologies actively (Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2002).”
Total factor productivity and the role of entrepreneurship (2016, methodology): “Finally, large countries perform R&D across a wide array of possible R&D activities; thereby better exploiting complementarities (Coe and Helpman, 1995).”
The technology clubs: the distribution of knowledge across nations (2008, background): “Studies in this tradition have become increasingly popular in the last couple of decades, and have greatly enriched our understanding of the functioning and evolution of the competencies of nations (Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2002).”
Technology clubs, technology gaps and growth trajectories (2008, result): “These results confirm the important role of structural change for economic growth (Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2002; Peneder, 9 This pattern is in line with the results obtained by Durlauf and Johnson (1995) in a cross-sectional sample.”
