Structural Analysis and the Process of Economic Development

Structural Analysis and the Process of Economic Development presents a detailed analysis of the trajectory of Swedish economic change since the nineteenth century. The emergence of structural analysis in economic research is reviewed, as well as a chapter devoted to development blocks, a key concept that was outlined in the 1940s and that has much in common with the more recent notions `techno-economic paradigms¿ and `general-purpose technologies¿. Structural analysis and the major contributions by Schön are introduced in this book.
