The increasing export specialization of advanced industrial nations cannot be explained by comparative advantage, nor by the new trade theory based on economies of scale. It must be due to technological or « absolute » advantages on the part
of the specialized exporter. These advantages are product-based and renewed by learning. The export-oriented industries tend to be found in one or a few subnational regions. They are organized in « Technological districts ».

En insistant sur l'accroissement toujours plus rapide d'échange international des connaissances scientifiques et techniques, l'A. déclare que le problème de l'accès aux toutes dernières technologies acquiert une acuité particulière en renforçant
l'interdépendance de certains pays ou grandes régions économiques. Comme aucun état ne peut actuellement s'appuyer sur ses propres résultats scientifiques et techniques, le transfert international des technologies peut être assimilé à un vaste marché à l'échelle du

Les tendances actuelles du développement industriel de ces pays, et surtout de la Corée du Sud, attestent le début d'un virage important : des branches traditionnelles consommatrices d'investissement vers les hautes technologies. Cependant l'écart
entre les connaissances fondamentales et les possibilités d'utilisation pratique entrave l'introduction des innovations dans la production et complique une progression rapide dans le domaine des hautes technologies. Néanmoins, ces pays s'efforcent
d'équilibrer la demande intérieure, l'importation et l'exportation de ces technologies modernes (nombreux tableaux). - (CLR)
