Summary: Public concern about the generation of innovative activity and technological change has risen sharply in recent years. Yet, to date, only limited knowledge about the determinants of innovation and the effects of technological change upon industrial structure has been established. This volume provides an original and internationally comparative analysis of the determinants of innovative activity and the manner in which market structure and firm size respond to technological change. The contributors have utilized new sources of data to test empirically the central hypotheses in the industrial organization literature regarding the causes and effects of technological change. The empirical results, based on numerous countries on both sides of the Atlantic, cast considerable doubt on the conventional wisdom that large firms in an oligopolistic market environment are the most conducive to innovative activity
