Institutional Regimes

This chapter looks at the comparative systems approach to understanding the way in which different institutional regimes affect the governance of technological development. It focuses on four institutional constraints: market failure, government failure, corporate failure, and network failure. Each has the potential to impede or disconnect the linkage between the production of technology and the use or adoption of technology.

This paper analyzes science and technology policy in Latino America. Making use of panel data methods, we test for successful science and technology policy, and sup­porting innovation practices in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. There are three paradigms that explain science and technology policy: the market failure paradigm, the mission paradigm, and the cooperative technology paradigm. The market failu­re paradigm assumes that market mechanisms will lead to optimal rates of science production and technical change. The mission technology paradigm assumes that governments may play an important role in the programmatic mission of agencies. The cooperative technology policy paradigm assumes that markets are not always the most efficient route to innovation. The results suggest that there is room for go­vernment involvement when defining a science and technology policy that aims to support the development of innovative capabilities. We conclude that mission and/ or the cooperative technology paradigms are adequate for defining a successful scien­ce and technology policy in Latino America.

Number Of Publications

Awareness about the growing role of networks in economic activity keeps rapidly increasing as reflected by the number of publications in international academic literature. This literature is, however, concerned with the advantages of network-based cooperation, while analyses of network failure and inferior-to-expectations outcomes remain scarce. This paper adds to the accumulating evidence that network formation and network integration are no panacea: similarly to the much-researched and analysed phenomena of market failure or government (state) failure, there is such thing as network failure .Combining theoretical arguments with Hungarian fieldwork experience originating from the author’s past investigations, cases of network failure and network misalignment both within the innovation system and within producer networks are examined. Another focus of this paper is institutional and policy (mis)alignment, i.e. the question, how the institutional set-up facilitates or works against achieving developmental goals in Hungary. We claim that though networks have an impact on development outcomes, the effectiveness of networks, i.e. their developmental role and the value of network ties are continuously shaped by network actors’ capabilities and behaviour.

Identification Analysis

In complex societies »The State« is loosing its role as central political regulation authority in many policy-areas it is assigned by the classical Theory of State. Political regulation (problem identification, analysis of problem interdependences, development of solutions, policy implementation and its control) is increasingly taking place in political networks in which a vast number of public institutions and private actors cooperate. These regulation mechanisms »between markets and hierarchies« can group and increase the society's problem-solving capacities. The article mainly focusses, however, on the limits of network regulation and shows that there is a»network failure« next to »state and market failure«. Seven problem dimensions are elaborated.

State Participation

Various ways of state participation in the mechanisms of transaction management are considered in the article. Differences between compensation and elimination of the market failures are identified. Opportunities and risks of non-regulatory alternatives usage as a mean of market failure compensation are described. Based on classification of goods correlated to relative cost of their useful characteristics evaluation (search, experience, merit) questions of institutional alternatives in three areas (political, financial and commodity) are examined.
