General Purpose Technology, Revolutionary Technology, and Technological Maturity

Research Papers in Economics, 2008
An important inference of the theoretical literature on the development of general purpose technologies is that public investment in their development is necessary if economic growth is to be sustained. The theoretical results are broadly consistent with the empirical generalization that the public sector, particularly military and defense related ...
