Notas sobre as interações entre eficiência e eqüidade como precondição para processos de "catching up": uma resenha da literatura e uma sugestão sobre a construção simultânea de sistemas de inovação e sistemas de bem-estar social

Resumo

This paper discusses the relationship between efficiency and equity
throughout the development process. First, this paper surveys the
contributions from Arrow and Sen. Second, the Japanese catching up
process is presented (Ohkawa & Kohama, 1989), highlighting the
interactions between the social capability and technological development
during phase shifts. Third, some hints are drawn from the literature about
National Systems of Innovation (Freeman, 1995). From these starting points,
this paper suggests that the mutual and combined formation of the National
Innovation System and the Welfare System could institutionalise the
necessary interactions between efficiency and equity.
