Until recently, economists studying economic development have
tended to consider it as a universal process, or focused their
attention on common aspects. This book originates from the growing
recognition of significant sectoral differences in economic
development and examines the catching-up process in five different
economic sectors: pharmaceuticals, telecommunications equipment,
semiconductors, software, and agro-food industries. Each of these
sector studies explore the learning and catch-up processes in
various developing countries, in order to identify both the common
features, and those which differ significantly across sectors and
nations. The authors pay particular attention to China, India,
Brazil, Korea and Taiwan. Edited by two of the leading scholars in
the field, this book will prove to be invaluable for academics and
postgraduate students interested in economic and technological
development, and evolutionary economics. Contributors include: J.O.
