| Abstract: | The paper is organized as follows. Section II defines the technological specialization profile of a country and explains how it can be measured. Section III studies the evolution of the overall degree of technological specialization through an inequality index and the non- parametric estimation of the density functions representing the specialization patterns of ten OECD countries. Section IV then studies intra-distribution movements (i.e. changes in time of a country's specialization in a particular technology field) through the estimation of Markov stochastic kernels and transition probability matrices. Section V concludes. |
