Implementation of innovation policy in Hong Kong as an institutional change is discussed in the thesis by applying general equilibrium mechanism for the comparison between cost and benefit during decision making. We suggest that public policy interventions at the start, as well as the response to incentives in private sector co-contribute and provide an explanation to the case of Hong Kong. (Less)
