innovation output as measured by patent applications. We first estimate a long-run cointegration relation using recently … developed tests and panel estimation techniques. We find that the stock of knowledge of a country, its R&D resources and the … stock of international knowledge move together in the long run. Then, imposing this long-run relation across variables we …

This paper provides a theory of strategic innovation project choice by incumbents and start-ups. We show that … prohibiting killer acquisitions strictly reduces the variety of innovation projects. By contrast, we find that prohibiting other … acquisitions only has a weakly negative innovation effect, and we provide conditions under which the effect is zero. Furthermore …
