ArticlePublisher: São Paulo : Nobel, jul./set. 1996Revista de Economia Política = Brazilian Journal of Political Economy 16, 3, p. 56-72Abstract: The definition and the concept of national innovation system are summarized, and a typology (with three categories) is suggested to specify the Brazilian situation. Brazil is included in the category of countries that hadnt their scientific and technological systems transformed into mature national innovation systems. This hypothesis is investigated in the light of available data on Brazilian R&D basic statistics: R&D expenditures, scientists and researchers employed, scientific production and patents granted to residents in Brazil. International comparisons are made, and two exercises are performed to test the efficiency in the use of R&D resources as an input of scientific articles production and patents granting (both seen as an R&D output). In the conclusion, it is argued that exists a methodological question when one intend to apply the concept of national innovation system to semi--industrialized countries like Brazil
