Innovation, Diffusion, and Trade
Eaton, Jonathan - 2012
We explore the determinants of research specialization across countries and its consequences for relative wages. Using a dynamic Ricardian model we examine the effects of faster international technology diffusion and lower trade barriers on the incentive to innovate. In the absence of any...

Innovation and the Enforceability of Noncompete Agreements
Johnson, Matthew S.; Lipsitz, Michael; Pei, Alison - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Worker mobility across firms can enhance innovation by spreading knowledge, but such mobility may also hinder … innovation by making firms reluctant to invest in R&D. A common way that firms limit workers' mobility is with noncompete … agreements (NCAs). We examine how the legal enforceability of NCAs affects innovation, as measured by patenting, using data on …

Foreign Technology Adoption as a Flying Propeller
Hu, Yunfang; Kunieda, Takuma; Nishimura, Kazuo; Wang, Ping - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We construct a dynamic general equilibrium model of foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign technology adoption, incorporating adoption barriers, international technology spillover, and relative price advantages. A higher FDI conversion efficacy, a lower adoption barrier, or a stronger...

How Trade Patterns and Technology Flows Affect Productivity Growth
Keller, Wolfgang - 1999
This paper examines the evidence on technology diffusion through trade in differentiated intermediate goods. Because intermediates are invented through costly research and development (R&D) investments, employing imported intermediates implies an implicit sharing of the technology that was...

International Technology Diffusion
Keller, Wolfgang - 2021
I discuss the concept and empirical importance of international technology diffusion from the point of view of recent work on endogenous technological change. In this literature, technology is viewed as technological knowledge. I first review the major concepts, and how international technology...

The Search for R&D Spillovers
Griliches, Zvi - 2021
R&D spillovers are, potentially, a major source of endogenous growth in various recent "New Growth Theory" models. This paper reviews the basic model of R&D spillovers and then focuses on the empirical evidence for their existence and magnitude. It reviews the older empirical literature with...
