The Schumpeterian growth theory (or Schumpeterian growth paradigm) is one of the two branches of innovation-based theory (the other being product-variety model). The Schumpeterian growth theory was developed by French economist Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt (1992). it grew out of modern industrial organization theory. It focuses on quality-improving innovations that render old products obsolete and hence involves the force that Austrian-American economist Joseph Schumpeter called creative destruction.[1] The SGT models growth as resulting from innovations involving creative destruction.[2]

Structure

The Schumpeterian growth theory is underlined by three main assumptions:

  • Growth is primarily driven by technological innovations.
  • Innovations are produced by entrepreneurs who seek monopoly rents from them.
  • New technologies drive out old technologies.[3]
