This paper proposes an evolutionary view of economic catch-up by latecomers, considered as a long-run process of closing the gap in capabilities by promoting learning and innovation in interaction with innovation systems (national, sectoral or regional). According to this perspective, catch-up is viewed as a dynamic evolutionary process which is not deterministic and cannot be planned in details because it faces uncertainty and continuous change; is associated with a variety of exogenous events (windows of opportunity) and is the result of the idiosyncratic behavior of heterogeneous actors characterized by different understanding, views and experiences. This process leads to a variety of responses and strategies by latecomer firms and countries, even in the presence of similar external technological or market conditions. One major point that emerges from this perspective is that there is a strong complementarity between learning and capabilities by domestic firms and the national, sectoral, and regional systems in which firms operate. The paper also discusses various strategies, such as detours and leapfrogging, along the stages and the different paths and trajectories that this long-term evolutionary process of countries and sectors follows.

后发者经济追赶的演化视角

本文提出了后来者经济追赶的进化观点,被认为是通过促进与创新系统(国家、部门或区域)互动的学习和创新来缩小能力差距的长期过程。从这个角度看,追赶被视为一个动态的进化过程,它不是确定性的,也无法详细规划,因为它面临着不确定性和持续变化;与各种外生事件(机会之窗)相关联,是异质行为者以不同理解、观点和经验为特征的异质行为的结果。这个过程会导致后来者公司和国家采取各种反应和战略,即使存在类似的外部技术或市场条件。从这个角度得出的一个主要观点是,国内公司的学习和能力与公司运营所在的国家、部门和区域系统之间存在很强的互补性。论文还讨论了国家和部门在这个长期演进过程中所遵循的阶段和不同路径和轨迹的各种策略,例如绕道而行。
