The fact that more innovation takes place within a market system is due to the increased competition in the free market. As any firm is able to enter and exit the market, firms have to work hard to maintain their profitable status. This is among others done by innovation; creating new, profitable products with which they can gain a great market share and stay in business. Being innovative and reacting to changing circumstances and emerging opportutinities are the key factors for the survival of the firm.

In a centrally planned economy however, this discipline of the market is less present and hence there is less incentive for innovation. Only one supplier (the government) is present and has all market power, so why should it bother about innovation to increase its profitable status or make its products more attractive? Consumers have no choice anyway.

An economic system run by the government?

Any governmental system that takes a lazze-faire (hands off) approach to the market is not responsible for how the economy is run. These economies are run by the market (buyers and sellers).

How does command economy and market economy differ?

Central Planning: A centrally planned economy relies on a party in power to decide what resources should be allocated to various demands as they see fit.Free Market: A free market economy relies on prices to determine where demand should be filled and to what extent.Because of these differences, an economy that is centrally planned is usually inefficient in their allocation of resources to each market. They decide beforehand which areas will get resources, restricting the supply and setting a price with no knowledge about the consumer's choice.A free market is much more adaptable, using price as a communicator, supply, demand and price interact to form equilibriums that satisfy market clearing outcomes. This system is much more efficient in that the people who value the goods most are able to get them. This is the idea, it doesn't always work perfectly.
