Abstract:
This collection of essays by Ruttan and Hayami spans their long career interest in the economics of technical and institutional change. At both a theoretical and empirical level, their analysis of "induced innovation" provides a solid foundation for understanding how and why technologies and institutions evolve in response to factors that constrain them. This book is a sweeping explanation of this process.
