Measurement of Technological Changes in Indian Economy, 1968-69 to 1979-80

This paper discusses the concept technological change and attempts to measure such change in the Indian economy over the period 1968-69 to 1979-80 through an input-output approach. The extent of changes in input- output coefficients (technical coefficients) are quantified and an attempt is made to segregate change in output due to changes in final demand from that due to changes in technology.
