The paper proposes the foundations of an analytical framework to map different innovation pathways and explain how leads inclusive structural change in low-income countries. Innovation depend on actors, interactions, variables affect origin innovation; uptake innovations (adoption diffusion); impact this diffusion upgrading, inclusion; complementarity between these processes; potential trade-offs inclusion. offers a set novel applications test proposed framework, through examples pathways:...
