This paper explores the relationship of the neo-Schumpeterian theory for Kondratiev waves, also called ‘Long Waves’ of economic growth, to Transition theory, in particular the multi-level perspective. The two conceptual frameworks have a similar description of the development of new technologies. While they both use the ontology of co-evolution, the MLP combines this with Science and Technology Studies, Giddens’ Structuration theory and neo-institutionalism. Neo-Schumpeterian theory can contribute to the consideration of landscape dynamics in the MLP, while agency in the niche–regime interactions emphasised by the MLP could be used to extend the analysis of Kondratiev waves.
► The two conceptual frameworks have similar descriptions of technology growth.
► Neo-Schumpeterian theory uses a wider context of historical and industrial dynamics.
► A Kondratiev wave can be treated as a special case of a transition.
► The detail and ontolological scope of the MLP can be applied to Kondratiev waves.
