Innovative activity over the business cycle
Article Abstract:
The pattern of innovative activity in the UK over the period 1948-1983 is investigated and its relationship with the operation of business cycles is analyzed. It is shown that such activity assumes the characteristic of a random walk although during prosperous periods, its occurrence is more predictable. Such innovative activity has an effect over long-range economic performance but not over shorter-run economic and business cycles.
