Analisi economica dell’impatto
tecnologico
Mario Coccia
Abstract: This research presents the scale of innovative intensity (SIIN) based on a meta-taxonomy that subsume other, less comprehensive taxonomy. The scale is used for a theoretical framework of measurement –technometrics- based on the economic impact of the technological change on the economic system. The technological impact can have positive and negative externalities for society and this is important to compute the Net Social Utility of the technology for adopters and economic and social environment. The theory is applied on the technology catalytic muffler, agricultural mechanisation and aircraft technology and the results show as these innovations have different degree of intensity according to their economic impact on the geo-economic system. Keywords: Technometrics, Technological Change, Innovation Intensity, Economic Impact, Innovation Patterns, Utility of Technology JEL Codes: D00, L20, O10, O30, O33 |
