Assuming a two-period model with endogenous choices of labour, education, and saving, it is shown to be second-best efficient to deviate from Ramsey’s Rule and to distort qualified labour less than nonqualified labour. The result holds for arbitrary utility and learning functions. Efficient...

This paper studies second best policies for education, saving, and labour in an OLG model in which endogenous growth results from human capital accumulation. Government expenditures have to be financed by linear instruments so that growth equilibria are inefficient. The inefficiency is...

This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly … individual effects and idiosyncratic errors correlated across equations and that differ in the way innovation enters the … Community Innovation Survey. The results provide evidence of robust unidirectional causality from innovation to productivity and …

This paper presents a dynamic model of a competitive R&D and production duopoly subject to knowledge spillovers. Two … asymmetric firms operate for a limited period of time and dispose their knowledge capital in the end. Both firms and the social … planner prefer the R&D-cooperative strategy over the competitive one regardless of the intensity of knowledge spillovers …

We construct an asymmetri c duopolistic R&D and production behavior model subject to knowledge spillovers. This model …

Using Dutch data we empirically investigate how financing and innovation vary across firm characteristics. We find that … when firms face financial constraints, debt financing and innovation choices are not independent of firm characteristics …
