ABSTRACT The importance of technological innovation in economic development has been acknowledged, and appropriate approach for building innovative countries needs further studies. The article uses the U.S., Germany and South Korea, three innovative countries, respectively, with three different politico-economic institutions, to explore the influence of institutions on the content and implementation of innovation policies. The similar institutional frameworks of the three countries bring policy convergence, but different government-enterprise relations, labour relations and capital market organizations affect their policy implementations and their final innovation systems. Thus, the compatability between institutions and policies is more critical than the “correctness” of innovation policy models.

制度，政策和多样化的创新体系：美国，德国和韩国的经验

摘要人们已经认识到技术创新在经济发展中的重要性，建立创新型国家的适当方法需要进一步研究。本文利用美国，德国和韩国这三个创新国家（分别具有三个不同的政治经济制度）来探讨制度对创新政策的内容和实施的影响。这三个国家的类似体制框架带来了政策趋同，但不同的政府企业关系，劳资关系和资本市场组织影响了其政策实施和最终的创新体系。因此，制度与政策之间的兼容性比创新政策模型的“正确性”更为关键。
