Abstract: This paper accommodates the new understanding of the limited exhaustibility of knowledge into the Schumpeterian
frame of the creative response to articulate a comprehensive model of Schumpeterian growth. The limited exhaustibility of
knowledge and its transient appropriability favor the accumulation of a stock of quasi-public knowledge.
The increasing stock of quasi-public knowledge together with appropriate knowledge governance conditions account for the
secular decline of knowledge costs and the increase of diachronic and pecuniary knowledge externalities. Because of its
limited exhaustibility and the consequent cumulability, knowledge is an endogenous endowment that accounts for growth.
Unexpected out-of-equilibrium conditions in product and factor markets stir the response of firms. The availability of
knowledge externalities accounts for the rate of innovation as they help making the reaction creative so as to enable the
introduction of innovations. The search for technological congruence and the secular decline of the cost of technological
knowledge accounts for its knowledge intensive direction as it induces the introduction of biased technological changes
that augment the output elasticity of knowledge as an input. The limited exhaustibility of knowledge accounts for the
secular trend towards the knowledge economy.
