The article surveys the Brazilian economics literature on innovation and development from the early nineties to the present. The survey begins by a discussion of the economic, political and academic factors which may explain why "innovation" came back to the fore in the nineties, after a relative decline during the eighties. A survey of the studies which place Brazilian national system of innovation in the international context follows suit. The next (and longest section) presents the studies (and their data-base) on innovation in Brazil. They are presented following a chronological order according to the phases of industrial investment in the country. The concluding part suggests a future research agenda, aiming at deepening and complementing the literature surveyed as well as filling some important lacunae observed in the literature.
