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...

This paper is an attempt to assess the existence and magnitude of local research spillovers in France. We rely on the model of an extended production function (Cobb-Douglas and Translog) with both local and neighborhood Ramp;D capital stocks. We estimate this model on 312 employment areas as of...

The identification of age, cohort (vintage), and period (year) effects in a panel of individuals or other units is an old problem in the social sciences, but one that has not been much studied in the context of measuring researcher productivity. In the context of a semi-parametric model of...

Despite growing empirical evidence of the link between environmental policy and innovation, most economic models of … innovation in the energy sector. Ignoring induced technological change overstates the welfare costs of an optimal carbon tax …, as the effect of induced innovation on emissions and mean global temperature is small. Sensitivity analysis shows that …

In this study, we investigate what are the factors of the promotion of female and male scientists at the French Institute of Physics (INP) at CNRS, one of the largest European public research organizations. We construct a long panel of INP physicists combining various data sources on their...
