Geographic Localization of International Technology Diffusion

Keller, Wolfgang - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Convergence in per capita income across countries turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local in a large class of models. This Paper estimates the amount of spillovers from R&D expenditures in major industrialized countries on a geographic basis. A new data set is...

Do inventors talk to strangers? On proximity and collaborative knowledge creation

Crescenzi, Riccardo; Nathan, Max; Rodriguez-Pose, Andres - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

This paper investigates how physical, organisational, institutional, cognitive, social, and ethnic proximities between inventors shape their collaboration decisions. Using a new panel of UK inventors and a novel identification strategy, this paper systematically explores the net effects of all...

Innovative Activity in Wind and Solar Technology: Empirical Evidence on Knowledge Spillovers Using Patent Data

Braun, Frauke G; Schmidt-Ehmcke, Jens; Zloczysti, Petra - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

sectors (inter-sectoral spillovers), or at the international level. We find that innovation is strongly driven by knowledge … spillovers, especially those occurring at the national level. Wind and solar technologies exhibit distinct innovation … only influential in the case of wind technology. We also find evidence that public R&D stimulates innovation, particularly …

Labour Mobility and Fiscal Coordination: Setting Growth Agenda for an Economic Union

Razin, Assaf; Yuen, Chi-Wa - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

Using a human-capital-based growth model, we show the essential role of labour mobility and cross-country tax harmonization in equalizing income levels of countries that start off from different initial income positions. Knowledge spillovers cum labour mobility are the driving forces behind the...

Is Distance Dying at Last? Falling Home Bias in Fixed Effects Models of Patent Citations

Griffith, Rachel; Lee, Sokbae; Van Reenen, John - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We examine the 'home bias' of international knowledge spillovers as measured by the speed of patent citations (i.e. knowledge spreads slowly over international boundaries). We present the first compelling econometric evidence that the geographical localization of knowledge spillovers has fallen...

How and Why Does Knowledge Spill Over? The Case of Biotechnology

Audretsch, David B; Stephan, Paula E - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1998

This paper sheds light on the questions, Why does knowledge spill over? and How does knowledge spill over? The answer to these questions lies in the incentives confronting scientists to appropriate the expected value of their knowledge considered in the context of their path-dependent career...

Distance to the Efficiency Frontier and FDI Spillovers

Sabirianova Peter, Klara; Svejnar, Jan; Terrell, Katherine - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004

We establish that domestically owned firms in two alternative models of emerging market economies, the Czech Republic and Russia, have not been converging to the technological frontier set by foreign owned firms. In both countries, the distance of domestic firms to the frontier grew (in all...

Regional Policy Design: An Analysis of Relocation, Efficiency and Equity

Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004

Despite substantial regional expenditures at both national and community level, European regional policies do not appear to deliver. The evidence suggests that neither efficiency gains nor reduced regional inequalities are attained. If there is any positive impact at all, then it is at the most...
