第三， 每一轮技术革命可进一步划分为导入期（Installation Period）和展开期（Deployment Period）。导入期又进一步包括爆发阶段与狂热阶段。在爆发阶 段，新技术初步出现并引发投资热潮，金融资本主导，技术创新与投机泡沫并存；至狂热阶段，技术应用快速扩散，但市场泡沫逐步退潮。展开期进一步包括协同 阶段与成熟阶段。协同阶段的特点是技术逐渐成熟，开始与实体经济深度融合，社会制度（如政策、法规）开始适应新技术，形成稳定的"技术-经济范式"；至成 熟阶段，技术已经全面普及，并开始相对稳定地助力经济增长 。 第四， 关于技术革命对经济增长的影响，经典的理论主要是卢卡斯和罗默的"内生增长理论"、熊彼特的"创造性破坏理论"。内生增长理论把技术进步视为内生变 量，通过人力资本积累、研发投入、知识溢出等因素推动，技术是一种可积累的公共品，会不断地作用于经济。创造性破坏理论则认为技术创新的本质是结构性变 革，是新技术对旧技术的替代，以及它带来的市场垄断权的更迭和产业结构的重组。简单来看二者区别，内生增长理论之下，技术革命是线性的、连续的；创造性 破坏理论之下，技术革命是非连续的、跳跃性的。从"创造性破坏 ...
