The Lindahl equilibrium in Schumpeterian growth models : knowledge diffusion, social value of innovations and optimal R&D incentives
Gray, Elie; Grimaud, André - 2014
What is the social value of innovations in Schumpeterian growth models? This issue is tackled by introducing the concept of Lindahl equilibrium in a standard endogenous growth model with vertical innovations which is extended by explicitly considering knowledge diffusion on a Salop (1979)...

Using the salop circle to study scale effects in Schumpeterian growth models : why inter-sectoral knowledge diffusion matters
Gray, Elie; Grimaud, André - 2016
This paper analyzes the link between the fact that fully endogenous growth models exhibit (or not) the non-desirable scale effects property and assumptions regarding the intensity of knowledge diffusion. In that respect, we extend a standard Schumpeterian growth model by introducing explicitly...
