TECHNOLOGY GAP AND INNOVATION DIFFUSION AS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF ECONOMY TRANSFORMATION IN THE CONTEXT OF EVOLUTION THEORY
The article examines processes of innovations implantation in economy as one of the most important source of economy growth. Wherein innovations implantation is accompanying appearing of such facts like technology gap and innovation diffusion. It shows sources and possible instruments of technology gap overcoming in the context of evolutionary economic theory. The author analyzed processes of economies structures convergence and divergence in the result of innovations implantation.
Keywords: evolution of economy, innovations, institutes, economic growth, convergence and divergence
