Abstract
El progreso tecnológico es una de las variables que se consideran más favorecedoras del crecimiento económico. En concreto, es de especial relevancia el proceso de su difusión internacional o catch-up tecnológico. El objetivo de este artículo es exponer el papel que juega este proceso de catch-up en los modelos de crecimiento más representativos, esto es, el de Solow-Swan y el de crecimiento endógeno, centrándonos fundamentalmente en el análisis de la hipótesis de convergencia que se deriva de los mismos una vez introducido en ellos un proceso de difusión gradual de tecnología.
The technological progress is one of the variables that shows a more positive influence on the economic growth of nations. More precisely, the process of international diffusion or technological catch-up is of special relevance. The goal of this paper is to observe the role that this catch-up process plays in the most representative growth models, this is, the Solow-Swan and the endogenous growth models. We will focus our atention in the analysis of the convergence hypothesis that is derived from those, once a gradual diffusion process of technology has been introduced in them.
