This book brings together leading international authors to analyze the determinants of innovative activity and the manner in which market structure and firm size respond to technological change. The contributors utilize new sources of data in their empirical analyses, which, based on studies from numerous countries, cast considerable doubt on the conventional wisdom that large firms in an oligopolistic market environment are the most conducive to innovative activity.
