Innovation, Diffusion, and Trade
Eaton, Jonathan - 2006
We explore the determinants of research specialization across countries and its consequences for relative wages. Using a dynamic Ricardian model we examine the effects of faster international technology diffusion and lower trade barriers on the incentive to innovate. In the absence of any...

Long-Term Barriers to the International Diffusion of Innovations
Spolaore, Enrico - 2011
We document an empirical relationship between the cross-country adoption of technologies and the degree of long-term historical relatedness between human populations. Historical relatedness is measured using genetic distance, a measure of the time since two populations' last common ancestors. We...

Heterogeneity and the Dynamics of Technology Adoption
Ryan, Stephen P. - 2011
We estimate the demand for a videocalling technology in the presence of both network effects and heterogeneity. Using a unique dataset from a large multinational firm, we pose and estimate a fully dynamic model of technology adoption. We propose a novel identification strategy based on...
