Abstract
Coming from an applied institute with a certain methodological orientation, and being innovation biased, due to my past interests, I will attempt to base my brief contribution on the relevance of some of the views and questions that have arisen in innovation research and in the course of the activities of our collaborators to the issues of long-term fluctuations in economic growth. The applied character of our institute has both advantages and disadvantages, particularly in connection with the topics of the Workshop, since we can not avoid also being, at least in part, future oriented, which is not always a rewarding exercise.
