What is Sectoral patterns of production and use of innovations in the UK: 1945–1983 about?
Based on information on more than 4000 innovations commemialised in the UK between 1945 and 1983, we analyse sectoral patterns and trends in the production and use OF bmovations. A few core sectors (chemical, mechanical, instruments and ekctronic) are of major importance in ths production of technology that gets used over a much wider range of sectors, inch~ding those outside manufactuting. Sii;u :,i;ctoraf patterns of production and use exist in the UK and USA. Tbe trend over time in the UK has been toward greater ~IJ ,ral interdependence in tecbi~ology. and a higher share of uses outside manufact~ reflecting the growth and spread of the ekctronics-based tech~sological cluster. Any understanding of the nature, determinants and dynamics of intersectoral differentxs in patterns cf Production and use of technology will require an integration into eu+k%i and theoretic& ,\*T.. !ysis of the characteristics of innovating firms. 1. ln~oll The purpose of this paper is to describe and interpret sectoral patterns and trends in the pro duction and use of innovations in the UK. EMier work has stressed the importance of such flows in determining sectoral trends in productivity increases [9,17],
