The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between geo-climate zones of the globe and innovative outputs in order to detect favourable mechanisms that can foster high technological change. Empirical analysis shows that geographical areas with tepid latitudes have higher levels of...

Evolution of technology is a stepwise advancement of a complex system of artifact, driven by interaction with sub-systems and other systems, considering technical choices, technical requirements and science advances, which generate new and/or improved products or processes for use or consumption...

This study here suggests a classification of technologies based on taxonomic characteristics of interaction between technologies in complex systems that is not a studied research field in economics of technical change. The proposed taxonomy here categorizes technologies in four typologies, in a...

Quantum technology is based on multiple research fields that apply the properties of quantum mechanics. There is a vast literature, however, new directions of technologies in quantum science that have a high potential of development are hardly known. This study confronts these problems here by...

The definition and explanation of concepts in science are a vital scientific activity because a scientific field can develop only on the base of new comprehensive concepts and categories of concepts and their applications that enlarge the domain of scientific analyses. The conception technology...

Dominant approaches for the study of the evolution of technologies are based on processes of competitive substitution of a new technology for the old one. However, new perspectives based on a multi-mode interaction between technologies in a complex system provide a much richer theoretical...

The fundamental problem in the field of technology studies is how technology evolves and sustains economic change in human society. This study confronts the problem here by proposing the theory of technological host-parasites coevolution, an approach that may be useful for bringing a new...
