How Trade Patterns and Technology Flows Affect Productivity Growth

Keller, Wolfgang - 1999

This paper examines the evidence on technology diffusion through trade in differentiated intermediate goods. Because intermediates are invented through costly research and development (R&D) investments, employing imported intermediates implies an implicit sharing of the technology that was...

Firm Size and R&D Intensity : A Re-Examination

Cohen, Wesley M. - 1987

Using data from the Federal Trade Commission's Line of Business Program and survey measures of technological opportunity and appropriability conditions, this paper finds that overall firm size has a very small, statistically in- significant effect on business unit R & D intensity when either...

Why are Some Regions More Innovative than Others? The Role of Firm Size Diversity

Agrawal, Ajay K. - 2012

Large labs may spawn spin-outs caused by innovations deemed unrelated to the firm's overall business. Small labs generate demand for specialized services that lower entry costs for others. We develop a theoretical framework to study the interplay of these two localized externalities and their...

Growth Through Heterogeneous Innovations

Akcigit, Ufuk - 2010

We study how exploration versus exploitation innovations impact economic growth through a tractable endogenous growth framework that contains multiple innovation sizes, multi-product firms, and entry/exit. Firms invest in exploration R&D to acquire new product lines and exploitation R&D to...

Comparative Localization of Academic and Industrial Spillovers

Adams, James D. - 2001

This paper studies localization of academic and industrial knowledge spillovers. Using data on U.S. Research and Development laboratories, that quantify spatial aspects of learning about universities and firms as well as their locations, I find that academic spillovers are more localized than...

The Geography and Channels of Diffusion at the World's Technology Frontier

Keller, Wolfgang - 2001

Convergence in per capita income turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local. Global spillovers favor convergence, while a geographically limited scope of knowledge diffusion can lead to regional clusters of countries with persistently different levels of income per...

Is Mobility of Technical Personnel a Source of R&D Spillovers?

Møen, Jarle - 2000

Labor mobility is often considered to be an important source of knowledge externalities, making it difficult for firms to appropriate returns to R&D investments. In this paper, I argue that inter-firm transfers of knowledge embodied in people should be analyzed within a human capital framework....

Geographic Localization of International Technology Diffusion

Keller, Wolfgang - 2000

Convergence in per capita income across countries turns on whether technological knowledge spillover are global or local. This paper estimates the amount of spillover from R&D expenditures in major industrialized countries on a geographic basis. A new data set is used which encompasses most of...
