- Abstract
From Adam•Smith to Samuelson, the economic theory is adapted to the industrial economy. While the era of knowledge economy comes, the traditional economic theory has no longer met the requirements of the knowledge economy. As in known to us, in the traditional economics, the classical function of production and the model of economic growth usually analyze the impact of factors like capital or labor on economic growth, through the way of increasing the inputs of capital or labor. However, the contributions of creativity, technology and culture to the economic growth have enhanced, through the way of increasing the productivity, which has made the traditional growth theory occur a crisis. This paper tries to discuss how “creativity” transforms the mode of economic growth via a growth model that contains “creativity”, on the basis of that “creativity” enables the function of production to exist an important feature of increasing returns to scale.
