This paper investigates the effect of inter-firm and intra-firm spillovers on the productivity of firms, using French … data. The Luenberger Productivity Indicator (LPI) is used to estimate the productivity and to break it down into several … components (e.g. efficiency, biased technical progress, scale effects, etc.). Using this approach, negative productivity changes …

In particular we show that: (1) as predicted by evolutionary theory, inventor productivity is a positive determinant of … invention value, (2) inter-firm mobility is a consistently positive determinant of productivity and (3) technological mobility …
