Luintel, Kul - 2018
context, we examine ideas production and international knowledge spillovers in a panel of 31 EMEs by accounting for six … diffusion channels and two types (national versus USPTO) of patent filings. Knowledge spillovers to EMEs accruing from (i) the …) those within the regional clusters of EMEs, are modeled. Spillovers from the industrialized world appear robust via …

Dynamically Optimal R&D Subsidization
Grossmann, Volker - 2010
Previous research on optimal R&D subsidies has focussed on the long run. This paper characterizes the optimal time path of R&D subsidization in a semi-endogenous growth model, by exploiting a recently developed numerical method. Starting from the steady state under current R&D subsidization in...

Elite Education, Mass Education, and the Transition to Modern Growth
Strulik, Holger - 2015
We propose an innovation-driven growth model in which education is determined by family background and cognitive ability. We show that compulsory schooling can move a society from elite education to mass education, which then triggers market R&D. This means that our model rationalizes two...

From Fossil Fuels to Renewables : The Role of Electricity Storage
Lazkano, Itziar - 2016
We analyze the role of electricity storage for technological innovations in electricity generation. We propose a directed technological change model of the electricity sector, where innovative firms develop better electricity storage solutions, which affect not only the relative competitiveness...

Entrepreneurial Innovation and Sustained Long-Run Growth Without Weak or Strong Scale Effects
Grossmann, Volker - 2021
R&D-based growth theory suggests that a larger population size raises either the long-run rate of economic growth ("strong scale effect") or the level of per capita income ("weak scale effect"), with far-reaching policy implications. However, for modern times there is little empirical support...
