The third, entitled “Growth rates and technological spillovers: a theoretical and empirical analysis of the theory of growth and economic development”, will seek to develop a debate on concepts and definitions of technological gap and technological spillovers between countries within the main economic schools , relating them to the growth rates of the countries and listing the proximities and divergences between the aspects. The fourth chapter, entitled “Technological spillovers and economic development: an analysis for emerging and/or developing countries for the years 2010 to 2019” will discuss the main convergences and divergences between countries regarding the relationships between technology gap, technology spillovers and their constraints on the levels of economic development.
