SCHUMPETER’ CONTRIBUTION TO GROWTH ECONOMICS Roberto Pasca di Magliano Fondazione Roma Sapienza-Cooperazione Internazionale roberto.pasca@uniroma1.it

Joseph Alois Schumpeter introduction At the beginning of the 20th century, the dominant doctrine was the neoclassical economics Marshall, British economist at Cambridge, had great influence on the development of economic thought with theories of costs, value, and distribution and developed a concept of marginal utility. His book Principles of Economics from the year 1890. Joseph Alois Schumpeter, started his academic career in Vienna; he became member of the German Historical School. Schumpeter published Theory of Economic Development in 1934 in which: He developed his idea concerning the role of the entrepreneurship He tried to introduce the entrepreneurs’ role into the neoclassical economics. He distinguished innovation as the function of the entrepreneur. Schumpeter has been mentioned as the father of entrepreneurship and of growth theories. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter main issues Multinationals (MNCs) are powerful players in the global markets mainly in commodities Innovations are function of the entrepreneur activity Radical innovation in the production process are needed to expand enterprises and to improve behaviour Entrepreneurs: as innovator, they create profit opportunities by devising a new product, a production process or a marketing strategy. they also create innovations in the face of competition and thereby generate (irregular) economic growth path. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter role of the entrepreneurs Innovations are considered as the major driver of an economy Since the social returns of innovations exceed the private returns innovation is considered the crucial aspect to policy makers in any of market economies. Entrepreneurs are motivated by the temporary monopoly profit: return on the entrepreneur of the innovation that leads to increased productivity, fundamental source of wealth in a society Important distinctions between: invention -> only a new idea innovation -> ideas applied successfully in practice The key to innovativeness is to allow firms to appropriate more of the social benefits of their new products or processes through intellectual property rights Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter distribution of innovation Innovations are not continuously distributed over time as they proceed by leaps which upset the existing equilibrium in markets and generate (irregular) economic growth Innovative transformation are relatively slow and conflict-ridden process Therefore: innovations follow the entrepreneurial activity (separate from the administrative function of manager) Innovations generate cycle’s fluctuations: i.e. supply shifts based on uneven technological changes Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter innovation and competiveness Entrepreneurs create radical innovations to be more competive in the market. In the Schumpeter’s economic system, business cycles waves are the major catalyst determinant of the economic growth. Typology of business cycles are proposed according to their periodicity, so that a number of particular cycles have been identified after they have been discovered Although Schumpeter’s theory on business cycles could not always explain the dynamic of the economy, there is no doubt that the ongoing technology revolution (ICT innovation) is having a large impact on the globalization of the world markets Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter evidence on the role of technological progress By comparing the growth of GDP with R&D data, it can be noticed that since the oil crisis shock in the mid 1970s the growth of R&D expenditures in the industrialized countries has been approximately double than the growth of GDP. This trend accelerated during the two decades following the globalization, the 1990s and the 2000s. The revolution of information technology (ICT) could be considered as an uneven innovation evolution of the Schumpeterian way of thinking. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter approach to innovation diffusion Two different approaches: entering in the market niches. Due to the innovation, entrepreneurs challenged existing firms through a process of “creative destruction”, which was regarded as the engine of economic growth. key role of large firms as engines for economic growth by accumulating non-transferable knowledge in specific technological areas and markets. There is a strong positive feedback loop from successful innovation to increase R&D activities leading to market concentration. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter creative destruction Creative destruction is associated with an innovation introduced by entrepreneurs entering into unexplored market where there are low entry barriers for new entrants According to Schumpeter, the "gale of creative destruction" describes the "process of industrial mutation that radically change the economic structure from within, destroying the old one technology and creating a new one" Creative destruction is a microeconomic process by itself even if it has considerable macroeconomic implication for growth: It creates economic discontinuities, and by doing so, they generate an entrepreneurial environment favorable to the introduction of innovative processes and then helping firms to earn monopoly profits. Competition is a self-destructive mechanism that normalizes profits when the innovation effects are evanishing. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter creative accumulation Creative accumulation is associated with institutionalized innovation by MNCs that carry out innovation along established technological trends and even try to prevent the entrance of newcomers. MNCs: dominate global commodity markets by providing world-class technologies and logistics are important partners for local entrepreneurs are claimed to utilize monopoly power to create high barriers to entry of competitors have a large impact on industry life cycles and market structure Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter creation vs destruction: some evidence In the early 90s, Finland was hit by serious crisis in the bank industry and about 20% of the firm population was lost. During the crisis the positive entrepreneurial event was the unexpected global success of Nokia. Two decades later Nokia collapsed showing a new kind of contemporary creative destruction. In the some EU countries, still in economic difficulties (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland), the Schumpeterian market shock may be in full force: the negative-end results are already known by economists. hopefully, the positive-end results are somewhere waiting for the growth boom in the near future. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter creative accumulation: further evidence Large firms use their creative accumulation in order to appropriate innovative knowledge small innovators through in-house R&D departments. Thomas Edison (1847-1931) owned over one thousand U.S. patents: himself was a pioneer investor creating technological breakthroughs. In the 1890s he established General Electric (GE). GE was among the first ones organizing creative accumulation built on its proprietary knowledge stocks through well-organized R&D departments, including lighting, transportation, power transmission, and medical equipment. GE is still continuing the infinite quality-improvement process Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter R&D expenditure The heterogeneity of industries is the reason why the relation between concentration and innovative output cannot be non-significant or even negative for the economy Relying on historical analyses, the strategy process is the key managerial innovation by which large firms integrate the core elements of vertical production system and create a value chain Large firms with integrated manufacturing and R&D can be successful in generating radical product and process innovations although MNCs frequently adopt the “escape competition” strategy in the global patent race. Roberto Pasca di Magliano

Schumpeter Human capital role The introduction of innovations opens the door to a deep transformation of the society Schumpeter strongly believed in human incentive coming from innovation dynamics as Robert Lucas (first theorist of the endogenous growth) would point many decades later (‘80s). Following the notion of increasing return to scale, Paul Romer (1989) claimed that every generation underestimate their potential role for finding new ideas. Technology is not a mysterious outside force, as economists thought in the past, but an internal force that can be cultivated to faster growth. His main slogan, recalling Schumpeter, has been: “The emerging economy is based on ideas more than objects”. The greatest innovations are likely to occur from the cross-fertilization among sectors and professions. For example, artists/ scientists and businessmen work-models are interrelated but different one from the other. Major difference is that artists/ scientists are more likely to think laterally and holistically, while businessmen are linkers of people and concepts owning a linear thinking pattern.
