The importance of improving the quality of LDC technology, with direct consequences for productivity and growth as well as the achievement of a more equitable or a more employment-intensive growth path, has for some time been recognised by analysts and policymakers both within the developing countries and outside. Indeed, few subjects have received more attention in the recent literature on development. While concern with the role of science and technology has been mounting, progress in providing answers has lagged behind considerably. This should not be surprising, in view of the deficiencies of our understanding of the subject even in the developed country context. For this reason, any effort even to marginally improve our understanding of how ‘appropriate’ technology 1 is chosen and developed, is clearly bound to have a high payoff. This is especially true in the context of societies critically short of conventional inputs, a scarcity lying at the heart of their state of underdevelopment. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
