A model of science and technology relationships

Abstract

The problem of identifying the boundaries between science and technology is addressed. By means of the two concepts of generality and appropriability of the information content of a research project, a model is constructed that highlights some peculiarities of the science-technology partition. It is then possible to analyse both the institutional and policy implications, from which some clear indications, such as context dependence, national identity and self-reliance, emerge. Moreover, it is shown how technology policies (and in particular patents) may, in certain cases, affect rather than improve the techno-economic performance of an economy.
