Technology absorption and its determinants: an introduction -- 2. Channels of and constraints to technology absorption -- 3. Policy options for greater technology absorption.While economic theory considers technological progress to be a key factor for sustained long-term economic growth and job creation, technology absorption is particularly an important driver for 'catch-up growth.'
