About Tinno Lab

In recent years ‘emerging economies’ like Korea in the 2000s face major challenges as they make a transition from
(a) a phase of economic development characterised by ‘catching up’ with the global technological frontier, involving technological ‘imitation’, to (b) a phase of continuing development based on the development of new knowledge for globally leading (post catch-up) product and process innovation.

​

Tinno lab addresses the challenge of accelerating innovation at the country/industry/firm level. Our general objective is to identify factors that affect technological innovation from a neo-Schumpeterian viewpoint. We are particularly interested in developing the theory of and empirical investigation of post catch-up.

​

We also engage in series of projects that cover issues of innovation policy architecture design and indicator development for the transition phase.
