title: Lange Wellen der internationalen Industrieproduktion, Energieverbrauch, Innovationen, Inventionen und Patente, 1738 bis 1979
title: Long Waves of the International Industrial Production, Consumption of Energy, Innovations, Inventions, and Patents, 1738–1979.

description: In zahlreichen Studien wurde gezeigt, dass die Nachfrage des Produktionssystems einen wichtigen Antrieb für Innovationen und Inventionen darstellt. Dieser Zusammenhang impliziert jedoch nicht, dass Innovationen und Inventionen direkt dem Wachstumsmuster industrieller Produktion folgen. Im Rahmen einer Sekundäranalyse analysieren die Autoren mit Hilfe eines zeitreihenanalytischen Verfahrens (der Spektralanalyse) ausgewählte Reihen im Hinblick auf Zyklen unterschiedlicher Länge. Berücksichtigt werden die industrielle (Welt-) Produktion, der Weltenergieverbrauch (Primärenergie) sowie die englische und amerikanische Patentstatistik. Mit Hilfe einer Datensammlung zu 182 Inventionen und Innovationen werden ergänzend zwei Indices gebildet: der Innovations - Index und der Inventions - Index. Jede Innovation und Invention wird durch drei Indikatoren repräsentiert: der Anzahl (´number´), der Bedeutung (´importance coefficient´) und dem Innovationspotential (´power coefficient´).

description: Numerous studies have shown that the demand within the product system is an important stimulus for innovations and inventions. This connection, however, does not imply that innovations and inventions follow the growth pattern of the industrial production directly. In the scope of a secondary analysis, the authors analyse selected series including cycles of different length by means of a time series-related analytic method, the spectral analysis. In doing so, the (global) industrial production, the global energy consumption (primary energy), and the British and American patent statistics are taken into account. On the basis of a data pooling of 182 inventions and innovations, two indices are created additionally: the index of innovations and the index of inventions. Any such innovation and invention is represented by three indicators: the “number”, the “importance coefficient”, and the “power coefficient” relating to the potential of innovations.
