"This book from Cristiano Antonelli provides a systematic account of recent advances in the economics of innovation. By integrating this account with the economics of technological change, the book elaborates an understanding of the paths and the sequence of determinants and effects of the introduction of new technologies.".

"Many within the innovation economics community will appreciate this account, provided by a respected expert, but it is a book that also needs to be read by all those with an interest in economic theory."--BOOK JACKET.
