Title
Drivers and impacts of the technological knowledge in emerging market and developing economies
Code
GA19-25280S
Summary
In today’s knowledge-based world, generation, dissemination and use of knowledge is
increasingly becoming a key driver for innovation and economic growth. Nowadays,
researchers and policymakers engage in intense debates about how their countries can move
from an economy based on natural resources or labor and capital inputs to an economy based
on knowledge. The current proposal quantitatively: (a) assesses factors and forces determining
the technological knowledge as a base of innovation and knowledge economy, (b) builds up a
new index of innovation at country level by employing machine learning techniques (supervised
and unsupervised learning algorithms), (c) evaluates how the knowledge economy (KE) affects
economic growth and development in emerging and developing economies, and d) studies from
a micro perspective the impact of innovation on performance of software and ICT firms in Cape
Town, South Africa.
