	The Knowledge Economy: Knowledge Producers and Knowledge Users
		There is widespread agreement that a defining aspect of the New Economy is the increased importance of knowledge.
		The increased importance of knowledge means that the net stock of intangible capital (e.g., education and research and development) has grown faster than tangible capital (e.g., buildings, transportation, roads, and machinery).
		In the New Economy, intangible capital has become at least as important as tangible capital, and a greater share of the value of tangible capital is based on intangible inputs.

	Knowledge economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A knowledge economy or a knowledged-based economy is a phrase that refers to the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits.
		But the rules and practices that determined success in the industrial economy of the 20th century need rewriting in an interconnected world where resources such as know-how are more critical than other economic resources.
		Other terms for the concept include "Knowledge Society" and "Knowledge Wave", as in catching or riding the "knowledge wave" in a similar manner that a surfer catches and rides a surf wave.

	Information economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Information economy is a loosely defined term to characterize an economy with increased role of informational activities and information industry.
		In a typical conceptualization, however, information economy is considered a "stage" or "phase" of an economy, coming after stages of hunting, agriculture, and manufacturing.
		Service economy, high-tech economy, late-capitalism, post-fordism, and global economy are among the most frequently used terms, having some overlaps and contradictions among themselves.

	What Is the Knowledge Economy? \| The Knowledge Economy \| Archive
		The implication of the knowledge economy is that there is no alternative way to prosperity than to make learning and knowledge-creation of prime importance.
		In the knowledge economy tacit knowledge is as important as formal, codified, structured and explicit knowledge.
		In the "learning economy" individuals, firms, and countries will be able to create wealth in proportion to their capacity to learn and share innovation (Foray and Lundvall, 1996; Lundvall and Johnson, 1994).

	Paper1- The Global Knowledge Economy
		What makes the emergence of the knowledge economy important is that it is, in some significant respects, different from the industrial economy we have known for most of the last 200 years.
		A knowledge economy is, in effect, a hierarchy of networks, driven by the acceleration of the rate of change and the rate of learning, where the opportunity and capability to get access to and join knowledge-intensive and learning-intensive relations determines the socio-economic position of individuals and firms.
		Knowledge has fundamentally different characteristics from ordinary commodities, and these differences have crucial implications for the way a knowledge economy must be organised.

	Research in the knowledge economy
		I describe the knowledge economy as global, highly networked, subject to rapid turnover, as treating knowledge as a commodity, and as existing in a perpetual state of "scarcity in abundance".
		As a consequence, knowledge workers now have less job security and fewer opportunities to improve their circumstances through collective bargaining, but are also more able to explore different types of work and collaborate with a wider circle of colleagues around the world.
		Rather the ways in which particular knowledge practices and understandings come into being and fade away need to be understood in terms of the business and politics of collaboration and contestation among different actors (individuals, commercial enterprises, NGOs, state institutions) and agendas operating in many different contexts in addition to academia.

	Making Sense Of The Knowledge Economy
		Painful lessons have been learnt as the high-tech bubble burst and investors discovered that the so-called new economy was subject to the same economic laws as the old.
		The economy's growth potential is set back by this misallocation of resources and by the economic costs of the additional taxes that are raised to fund the subsidies.
		The economy is still growing moderately thanks largely to moves to free it up 10 years and more ago, but it is growing more slowly than in the mid-1990s and is showing no signs of moving on to the growth path that the government is targeting.

	Knowledge Economy :: Charles Leadbeater
		This is where you can get details of my recent writing on the overlapping themes of innovation and the knowledge economy, in which ideas and their generation and application become the driving forces not just of wealth creation but also improvements in social well being.
		The book sets out a new constitution for the new economy that shows why entrepreneurship will become a mass activity, companies will need to be structured as if they were brains, ownership must be broadly spread, and networks will become the main way of organizing the knowledge economy.
		Leadbeater argues for a radical overhaul of corporate and government institutions inherited from the industrial era which are ill suited to the knowledge economy, including new approaches to measuring economic value, taxation and social entrepreneurship.

	Financing for Development and Transition to a Knowledge-Based Economy
		In examining the strategic significance of the knowledge-based economy, it is important to appreciate that this economy is truly a new economy, and that the underlying economics of information and of knowledge are radically different from the economics that have prevailed throughout previous human history.
		Knowledge banks can serve a dual function - both as depositories for publicly accessible knowledge that can play a key role in supporting knowledge-based development and as a mechanism for trade that uses knowledge-based currencies as a medium for exchange.
		In addition to its significance in the areas of business and public administration, the knowledge economy is making possible important new opportunities for access to vital information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice and the law.

	Mokyr, J.: The Gifts of Athena: Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy.
		The growth of technological and scientific knowledge in the past two centuries has been the overriding dynamic element in the economic and social history of the world.
		He argues that the growth explosion in the modern West in the past two centuries was driven not just by the appearance of new technological ideas but also by the improved access to these ideas in society at large--as made possible by social networks comprising universities, publishers, professional sciences, and kindred institutions.
		Through a wealth of historical evidence set in clear and lively prose, he shows that changes in the intellectual and social environment and the institutional background in which knowledge was generated and disseminated brought about the Industrial Revolution, followed by sustained economic growth and continuing technological change.
