Description
This text explores the notion of a technological system and more specifically the distinction between modern and traditional technological systems. Using highly disaggregated data for a range of sectors and developing countries, this distinction has been applied to micro as well as macro-economy issues. By identifying distinct systems of technology in a multisectoral model of the economy, the authors aim to quantify certain aspects of those systems within a conceptual framework. The relationship between income distribution, the choice of technology and its subsequent impact is examined in detail.
