In their original form, the SN-rules were formulated from an implicit theoretical framework such that they define a broad technology assessment heuristic. This formulation has advantages and disadvantages. In this work, we propose that it is possible to make advances in the interpretation and use of the SN-rules, if we formally consider them as a procedure for technology screening, integrated within a wider process of technology choice and policy-making. This conception helps us to assess the nature and applicability of the SN-rules in different contexts, and allows us to position them as a contribution to the economic theory of technology policy. 000130937 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S10 000130937 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000130937 592__ $$a0.633$$b2016 000130937 593__ $$aEconomics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous)$$c2016$$dQ1 000130937 593__ $$aManagement of Technology and Innovation$$c2016$$dQ2 000130937 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130937 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1246-6751$$aFatás-Villafranca, F.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130937 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9521-4156$$aSánchez-Choliz, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130937 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
