Abstract

During the course of the past decade I enjoyed the rare opportunity of conducting a vast exploration into the economics of technological change in manufacturing firms of the six largest Latin American countries. Jointly with a team of economists and engineers we examined from a historical perspective — that is, covering various decades of operation — the technological and overall economic performance of well over fifty industrial firms, carefully recording and studying their behaviour both from an economic and an engineering point of view.
