  • Chapter

  • 231 Accesses

Part of the book series: Studies in Industrial Organization ((SIOR,volume 10))

Abstract

What are the causes of industrial development and economic growth? What are the linkages between these processes and their micro foundations? What is the framework within which we can best answer these questions and understand the ongoing transformation and restructuring of world industry? These are the basic questions which motivated the conference upon which this volume is based.

I am indebted to the participants in the conference on New Issues in Industrial Economics. The remarks in the concluding conference session by Richard Caves and Gunnar Eliasson have been particularly helpful. I would also like to thank Rolf Bergman, Asim Erdilek, Frank Stafford and Nils-Olov Stålhammar for constructive criticism of earlier drafts.
