Abstract

Rapid penetration into the market of new technologies will certainly bring in benefits to consumers or more generally to the economy, but almost unavoidably be accompanied by frictions in both domestic and international markets. For these technologies to be really beneficial to the society, such strategies are to be implemented that reduce frictions in the markets with as little decrease in positive impacts as possible.

Taking into account that the issues are of interdisciplinary (technology and economy) and international character and IIASA's sales point is exactly on this point, we are convinced that IIASA is one of the most appropriate institutions which can conduct a study on the issues.

The author takes industrial robots as the target technology and describes possible research items.
