Abstract
This is an introduction to the forthcoming volume "The Role of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in
Economic Growth." The chapters collected in this volume seek to answer the following questions:
What is the relationship between innovation/entrepreneurship and economic growth in specific
industrial sectors? How has the relationship between innovation /entrepreneurship and economic
growth changed over time? How much do policies, programs, and specialized institutions meant to
encourage innovation or entrepreneurship ultimately spur economic growth? Does innovation or
entrepreneurship affect economic performance and social progress other than through measured
productivity and economic growth, and if so, how can these effects be measured? We synthesize
the chapters in this volume and present broad conclusions.
