Abstract

ABSTRACT As inequality rises around the world, practitioners of science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy need to consider their roles in exacerbating or mitigating it. Unless they are specifically designed to do otherwise, national and regional STI policies tend to increase inequality. Alternative designs are available, however, to use STI policy in ways that improve lives in low-resource households, reduce horizontal inequalities, and help to close the gaps between rich and poor. The size of the impact of these options is impossible to determine with current information but the potential is significant.

不平等与科技创新政策:影响分析

随着世界范围内不平等现象的加剧，科学、技术和创新(STI)政策的实践者需要考虑他们在加剧或缓解不平等方面的作用。国家和地区的科技创新政策往往会加剧不平等，除非它们被专门设计成相反的效果。然而，利用科技创新政策改善低资源家庭的生活，减少横向不平等，并帮助缩小贫富差距，也有其他设计方案。这些选择的影响大小无法根据目前的信息来确定，但其潜力是巨大的。

期刊介绍： conomic development and growth depend as much on social innovations as on technological advances. However, the discourse has often been confined to technological innovations in the industrial sector, with insufficient attention being paid to institutional and organisational change and to the informal sector which in some countries in the South plays a significant role. Innovation and Development is an interdisciplinary journal that adopts a broad approach to the study of innovation, in all sectors of the economy and sections of society, furthering understanding of the multidimensional process of innovation and development. It provides a forum for the discussion of issues pertaining to innovation, development and their interaction, both in the developed and developing world, with the aim of encouraging sustainable and inclusive growth. The journal encourages articles that approach the problem broadly in line with innovation system perspective focusing on the evolutionary and institutional structure of innovation and development. This focus cuts across the disciplines of Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Science and Technology Policy, Geography and Development Practice. In a section entitled Innovation in Practice, the journal includes short reports on innovative experiments with proven development impact with a view to encouraging scholars to undertake systematic inquiries on such experiments. Brief abstracts of degree awarded PhD theses in the broad area of concern for the journal and brief notes which highlight innovative ways of using internet resources and new databases or software are also published.
