CRESPO PAZMINO, Daniel F.. COMPARING INNOVATION SYSTEMS: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ON GERMANY AND CHINA. Revista Economía y Política [online]. 2019, n.29, pp.85-103.  Epub Jan 03, 2019. ISSN 2477-9075.  https://doi.org/10.25097/rep.n29.2019.05.

Globalization, the growing technological development, and the capitalization of knowledge, have repositioned to innovation as the key competitive component for economic development and welfare of states and companies. Hence, there is a growing interest in the study of the dynamics and policies that influence the development and implementation of the innovative process.

This paper, through a literary review, presents the methodological approaches used within empirical studies comparing the national and regional innovation systems of Germany and China. In both cases, there is evidence that the contemporary academic study of innovation takes place from an evolutionary perspective, it focuses on the linkages between the different actors and institutions in a system, and its analysis contributes to the strategy used in the establishment of public policies to favor economic development and social welfare.

Keywords : innovation; methodology; technology policy; literature review; innovation systems.
