Revolutionary effects of new information technologies
van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2005
In markets with imperfect information and heterogeneity, the information technology affects the rate at which agents meet, which in turn affects the distribution of production technologies across firms. We show that in models for such markets there are typically multiple equilibria because...

North-South Technology Spillovers: The Relative Impact of Openness and Foreign R&D
Schiff, Maurice; Wang, Yanling - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2008
This paper examines the relative contribution of openness and the R&D content of trade to TFP growth for North-South trade-related technology diffusion. The measure of foreign R&D used in the literature on trade-related technology diffusion imposes identical contributions of openness and the R&D...

Benfratello, Luigi; Schiantarelli, Fabio; Sembenelli, … - 2006
set on innovation for a large number of Italian firms over the 1990's. There is evidence that banking development affects … the probability of process innovation, particularly for small firms and for firms in high(er) tech sectors and in sectors … more dependent upon external finance. The evidence for product innovation is weaker. There is also some evidence that …

Labor mobility, social network effects, and innovative activity
Kaiser, Ulrich; Kongsted, Hans Christian; Rønde, Thomas - 2011
We study the mapping between labor mobility and industrial innovative activity for the population of R&D active Danish firms observed between 1999 and 2004. Our study documents a positive relationship between the number of workers who join a firm and the firm's innovative activity. This...
