Catch up
-
Definition.
Fagerberg & Godinho (2005:514): "the ability of a single country to narrow the gap in productivity and income vis-à-vis a leader country, whereas 'convergence' refers to a trend towards a reduction of the overall differences in productivity and income in the world as a whole".
Odagiri et al. (2010): process by which late-developing countries narrow their gap in income (economic catch up) and technological capability (technological catch up) in comparison to a leading country.
Further issues
Consideration of linkage factors between technological regimes and catch up performance in relation to different market entry stages (early v. late entry).
Need to consider non-linear relations between technological regimes and catch up performance, i.e. different directions of impacts for different ranges of latecomer firms.
Need to consider impact of policy interventions on difficulty of catch up, such as public-private partnerships.
Has catch up become more difficult or easier than before? Consider IPR regime impact and impact of digitalization on access to knowledge and codification of knowledge.
Measures
- Technological:
Technological capability, as measured, for example, through patent-based indicators.
-
-
-
Park & Lee (2006) introduce a patent-based measure of accessibility: "The variable of accessibility is positively related to the speed of catch up (patent growth rates) and the level of technological capability (latecomers' shares in each class of technology)" (Lee, 2013:226).
