Abstract：There are two clues to identifying technological catching-up at general level,the first is based on growth accounting technology,and the second is based on the concept of innovation from Schumpeter.Two methods are developed to identify technology-gaps and technological catching-up based on the two threads.Dynamics of technological catching-up are mainly divided into four major types:economic convergence,advantages of latecomers,institutional transitions and technology transposing.Both economic converge and advantages of latecomers are technological catching-up dynamics based on group decision,institutional transitions and technology transposing are technological catching-up dynamics based on individual decision.Explanation of different countries' performances of technological catching-up are based on three basic hypothesis:Dynamics of technological catching-up based on group decision have more influence on catching-up preferences than dynamics of technological catching-up based on individual decision;There are competitive relations between different countries;The more institutional difference with the leading country,the higher cost of institutional transitions will be.
