Growth in neoclassical economics is the result of capital factor accumulation ?!? =
[edit]There is this fellow called "Robert Solow" who happens to have won the Nobel Memorial Prize for inventing something called neoclassical growth theory, which introduces the notion of growth being driven mainly not by capital factor accumulation but by a "residual" that Solow identifies as technological progress (read: innovation). And this is just one of the many mistakes in this article. Embarrassing!

What difference between Innovation Economics and Economics of Innovation ? pretty confusing !
[edit]If you type "Economics of Innovation", you are redirected towards "Innovation".
The article "Innovation" has a chapter "Economics"....
It is as if this article was called "Innovation Economics" because the name "Economics of Innovation" was already taken !

"Innovation economics is a growing economic theory that emphasizes entrepreneurship and innovation".
This statement is not correct. Please reformulate in this way:
"Innovation economics is a growing field of research that studies the economic determinants and impacts of innovation".

[edit]Dr. Berghall has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The article is good, but lacks reference to innovation spillovers:
While innovation is key to technological progress, in a global world technology diffusion is perhaps even more important. In their seminal paper, Eaton and Kortum (1994) found that more than 50% of the growth in their sample countries derived from innovation in the United States, Germany, and Japan. More generally, according to Keller (2004, p. 752), typically 90 percent of productivity growth originates from abroad, with FDI and trade being important vehicles of international technology diffusion.

Dr. Ghisetti's comment on this article
[edit]Dr. Ghisetti has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
The sentence "This is in contrast to the two other conventional economic doctrines, neoclassical economics and Keynesian economics" is not true.Innovation economics is grounded on "evolutionary economics" but it still draws on neoclassical economics instruments, e.g. regarding the role of externalities to appropriate for the benefits of innovation investments.
2) the sentence "Because the primary domain of innovation is commerce the key data resides there; continually out of campus reach in reports hidden within factories, corporate offices and technical centers." needs to be clarified and supported I believe
3) Related to the above: several indicators to measure innovations are available and exploited, even in empirical research. The OECD Frascati Manual develops a framework for measuring and reporting innovation data. Reference: OECD (2015), Frascati Manual 2015: Guidelines for Collecting and Reporting Data on Research and Experimental Development, OECD Publishing, Paris.

5) A broad effort in collecting and systematyzing innovation data both at firm and country level has been performed, e.g. Eurostat releases the "Community Innovation Survey" as a part of the EU science and technology statistics. A Subsection on "Data availability" or on "How to measure innovation" can benefit the page a lot

Dr. Lotti's comment on this article
[edit]Dr. Lotti has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
"But it is only within the last 15 years that a theory and narrative of economic growth focused on innovation that was grounded in Schumpeter’s ideas has emerged". I would say 30 years, more or less. The link between innovation and productivity should be strengthened, and there is no puzzle in total factor productivity growth (here a recent survey https://eml.berkeley.edu/~bhhall/papers/BHH11_Innovation_Productivity_NEPR.pdf)

Dr. Nepelski's comment on this article
[edit]Dr. Nepelski has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
"Innovation economists believe that what primarily drives economic growth in today’s knowledge-based economy is not capital accumulation, as claimed by neoclassicalism asserts, but innovative capacity spurred by appropriable knowledge and technological externalities. Economics growth in innovation economics is the end-product of knowledge (tacit vs. codified); regimes and policies allowing for entrepreneurship and innovation (i.e., R&D expenditures, permits, licenses); technological spillovers and externalities between collaborative firms; and systems of innovation that create innovative environments (i.e., clusters, agglomerations, metropolitan areas).[4][5]"
I guess, here one could at least mention some seminal pieces of theoretical work, e.g.: Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt (1992). A Model of Growth Through Creative Destruction, Econometrica, Vol. 60, No. 2 , pp. 323-351
On geography of innovation one could add:
In Europe, a very small number of regions demonstrate intensive research and innovation activity in such domains as ICT. Furthermore, those 34 regions are themselves concentrated in a small number of countries. The landscape of innovation activity is often dominated by small areas with highly concentrated activities. It is the result of agglomeration. Factors such as the spatial proximity of similar and related firms and industries and the general tendency of people and economic activity to locate in large cities and economic core regions all lead to agglomeration. The agglomeration of R&D, innovation and business activity facilitates local knowledge spillovers and fosters the local business system. (see Nepelski, D., & De Prato, G. (2014). Key Findings and Implications of the European ICT Poles of Excellence project. Seville: JRC-IPTS under http://ftp.jrc.es/EURdoc/JRC85408.pdf)
The following statement:
"Even more, thriving metropolitan economies that carry multiple clusters (i.e., Tokyo, Chicago, London) essentially fuel national economies through their pools of human capital, innovation, quality places, and infrastructure.[14] "
is supported by findings by Nepelski, D. De Prato, G. and Piroli, G. (2016). European start-up hotspots: An analysis based on VC-backed companies, Seville: JRC-IPTS under: http://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC101215/lfna28021enn.pdf

Dr. Barge-Gil's comment on this article
[edit]Dr. Barge-Gil has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
I do not think the term 'Innovation Economics' is very used in the literature. After reading the article I would say it corresponds more to what is known as 'Evolutionary economics' or 'Schumpeterian economics'. On the other hand, I would say that 'Economics of Innovation' would mean something a bit different, including all approaches (not only the Schumpeterian or evolutionary ones) in analyzing the phenomenon of innovation and technical (and organizational) change
