An evolutionary model of industrial development, presented in the second part of the book, incorporates both the industrial and innovation processes.  The author compares and contrasts this model's behaviour with that of well-known, classical models of development.  Contemporary economic problems relating to cumulative causation and path dependency are discussed in the final chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnowledge, Innovation and Economy\u003c\/i\u003e provides new insights into industrial and economic development which will be welcomed by economists concerned with industrial processes and organization, the innovation process and technological change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'This book presents an excellent evolutionary analysis of core constructs of industrial economics using a simulation model targeted primarily on pricing strategy and product competition. . . . this is a solid contribution to the stream of work focused on the complexity of industry growth processes. . . . the work deserves attention from those using simulation models of industry development and those who are interested in developing the product\/demand side of evolutionary theory.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  Preface  Part I:  Knowledge and Evolution  1.
