>> Summary
The paper presents a survey of the empirical literature studying the impacts of innovation on the international competitiveness of industries. Different strands of applied research, namely the R&D spillovers literature and the evolutionary economic approach, have pointed out that the international competitiveness of manufacturing industries is greatly affected by their own innovative activities as well as by the intersectoral exchange of advanced knowledge among suppliers, producers and users of new technologies.
In an attempt to extend this literature to the study of the service sectors, the paper puts forward a new taxonomy that combines manufacturing and services within the same framework. This taxonomy focuses on the vertical linkages that tie together these interrelated branches of the economy, and points out their relevance to sustain the competitiveness of domestic industries in international markets.
