7 Some of the Obvious Explanations: Military Size Scarcity of Labor/Natural Resources Barriers to Entry/Increasing Returns Free-Riding Culture
8 But do they really explain anything: Military Size Scarcity of Labor/Nat. Res. Barrier to Entry/Incr. Rtrns. Free-Riding Culture USA Japan Switzerland Germany Canada Sweden
9 Domestic Institutions Theories of Technological Innovation
10 National Innovation Systems Patent Systems Financial Insts Anti-Trust Govt. Procuremt Trade Regimes Science Policy STEM Education R&D Subsidies Labor Unions Indstrial Relations Envirnmtl Regltns Defense Policy Legal Systems Tax Policy Budget Constraints
11 National Innovation Systems United States -military procurement -strong anti-trust -small firms -universities Japan -government control over trade and investment -cooperative industry-labor relations -specific corporate management techniques
12 Varieties of Capitalism Theory
13 Varieties of Capitalism Theory Liberal Market Economies More markets +More risk +More profits Coordinated Economies Less markets + More consensus + Less change = More revolutionary technological innovation = Slower, more incremental technological innovation

18 Why Do Domestic Institutions Sound so Good in Theory But Appear to Fail Empirically?
19 DOMESTIC INSTITUTIONS & -Market Failures -Status Quo Interest Groups X NATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION POLICIES
20 Democracy Free Markets Intellectual Property Regimes Financial Systems -Market Failures -Status Quo Interest Groups X NATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION Education policy R&D subsidies
21 Domestic Institutions Theories Assumptions Innovation = Public Goods Problem (ideas/knowledge) High Levels of Risk High Levels of Uncertainty Imperfect & Costly Information High Transaction Costs Unstable Property Rights Solution = INSTITUTIONS!!!
22 Why Do Domestic Institutions & Policy Theories Fail? Taiwan* Israel Ireland Mexico
23 Domestic Institutions Theories Assumptions Innovation = Public Goods Problem (ideas/knowledge) High Levels of Risk High Levels of Uncertainty Imperfect & Costly Information High Transaction Costs Unstable Property Rights Solution = INSTITUTIONS + NETWORKS
24 International Networks Transfer Tacit Knowledge -Overseas training & education -Foreign consultants & technical assistance -Attending international expositions, conferences, & lectures -Overseas plant visits -Consults with foreign capital goods & high technology suppliers/consumers -Mergers & acquisitions, joint R&D projects -Import-Export Relationships -Migration of STEM labor -Establishing R&D facilities in high-tech countries -Inward FDI in production and R&D facilities from more advanced countries

26 STEM workers Entrepreneurs Finance Marketing STEM workers STEM workers Distribution
27 STEM workers Entrepreneurs Finance Marketing STEM workers STEM workers Distribution Successful institutions/policy solve market failures AND promote networks
28 But then the question becomes. Why do some countries set up these institutions and networks better than others?
29 External Security Military Economic Innovation builds indigenous defense capacity Innovation earns foreign exchange for strategic imports OR Enable domestic production
30 Correlation with Innovation Rate No militarized action Threat to use force Display of force Use of force War Higher levels of external threat correlate with higher national innovation rates
31 Correlation with Innovation Rate No militarized action Threat to use force Display of force Use of force War Higher levels of external threat correlate with higher national innovation rates

33 Domestic Tensions Economic Ethnic/Tribal Geographic Cultural -Innovation creates winners & losers -Innovation redistributes wealth & power
34 External Threats > Domestic Tensions Fewer labor strikes Lower economic inequality Higher imports of food and energy as % of total consumed Longer recent history of external conflicts No recent civil war Domestic Tensions > External Threats More labor strikes Greater economic inequality Lower imports of food and energy as % of total consumed Shorter recent history of external conflicts Recent civil war Anti-S&T, pro status-quo military dictatorship

51 What Does This Evidence Allow us to Say? 1. Good domestic institutions are not a necessary/sufficient condition for, or producer of, technological performance. 2. International relationships may indeed matter for national innovation rates
