Khan co-authors paper
Muhammad Salar Khan, assistant professor in the College of Liberal Arts, co-authored the paper “Invention complexity, latent innovation capabilities, and economic development in upper middle-income countries” in Technological Forecasting & Social Change. The study offers theoretical and empirical contributions at the intersection of innovation economics, economic complexity, and development economics, with important implications for development policy and strategies to escape the middle-income trap. It shows how latent innovation capabilities drive economic growth among upper middle-income countries.
