innovation. We first establish a positive and significant correlation between various measures of innovativeness and top income … in the top 1% income share between 1975 and 2010. Finally, we show that innovation does not increase broader measures of … inequality which do not focus on top incomes, and that innovation is positively correlated with social mobility, but less so in …

This paper investigates the effect of export shocks on innovation. On the one hand a positive shock increases market … size and therefore innovation incentives for all firms. On the other hand it increases competition as more firms enter the … export market. This in turn reduces profits and therefore innovation incentives particularly for firms with low productivity …

The paper analyzes the existence and impact of financing constraints as a possibly serious obstacle to innovation by … direct indicators of financial constraints and innovation decisions by firms. A novel method for establishing coherency … well as reverse interaction effects, leading us to conclude that binding financing constraints discourage innovation and at …

This paper examines the impact of financial constraints on innovation for established firms. We make use of a direct …

competition on R&D according to the cost of the innovation. The effect of competition on R&D is an inverted U-shape. However, the … shape is flatter and competition policy is therefore less relevant for innovation when innovations are relatively costly …. Intuitively, if innovations are costly for a firm, competitive shocks have to be significant to alter its innovation decisions …

Does regulation affect the pace and nature of innovation and if so, by how much? We builda tractable and quantifiable … sharp reduction in the firm's innovation response toexogenous demand shocks for firms just below the regulatory threshold …. We thenquantitatively fit the parameters of the model to the data, finding that innovation at the macrolevel is about 5 …
