How Trade Patterns and Technology Flows Affect Productivity Growth

Keller, Wolfgang - 2021

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...

Firm Size and R&D Intensity : a Re-Examination

Cohen, Wesley M.; Levin, Richard C.; Mowery, David C. - 2021

Using data from the Federal Trade Commission's Line of Business Program and survey measures of technological opportunity and appropriability conditions, this paper finds that overall firm size has a very small, statistically in- significant effect on business unit R & D intensity when either...

Why are Some Regions More Innovative than Others? The Role of Firm Size Diversity

Agrawal, Ajay K. - 2015

Large labs may spawn spin-outs caused by innovations deemed unrelated to the firm's overall business. Small labs generate demand for specialized services that lower entry costs for others. We develop a theoretical framework to study the interplay of these two localized externalities and their...

Growth Through Heterogeneous Innovations

Akcigit, Ufuk - 2014

We study how exploration versus exploitation innovations impact economic growth through a tractable endogenous growth framework that contains multiple innovation sizes, multi-product firms, and entry/exit. Firms invest in exploration R&D to acquire new product lines and exploitation R&D to...

Bounding the Effects of R&D : An Investigation Using Matched Establishment-Firm Data

Adams, James D. - 2010

Studies of firm-level data have shown that a firm's R&D and the R&D of other firms increase conventional factor productivity. We investigate these phenomena further by examining the relationship between plant-level productivity and firm-level R&D. We find that (1) the productivity-enhancing...

Measuring the Returns to R&D

Hall, Bronwyn H. - 2014

We review the econometric literature on measuring the returns to R&D. The theoretical frameworks that have been used are outlined, followed by an extensive discussion of measurement and econometric issues that arise when estimating the models. We then provide a series of tables summarizing the...

Spillovers in Space : Does Geography Matter?

Lychagin, Sergey - 2015

We simultaneously assess the contributions to productivity of three sources of research and development spillovers: geographic, technology and product-market proximity. To do this, we construct a new measure of geographic proximity that is based on the distribution of a firm's inventor locations...

The Origins of Industrial Scientific Discoveries

Adams, James D. - 2008

This paper estimates science production functions for Ramp;D-performing firms in the United States using scientific papers as the measure of output, by analogy with patents. The underlying evidence covers 200 top U.S. Ramp;D firms during 1981-1999 as well as 110 top U.S. universities. We find...

International Spillovers and ‘Ex-Ante’ Efficient Bailouts

Azzimonti, Marina - 2018

We study how cross-country macroeconomic spillovers caused by sovereign default affect equilibrium bailouts. Because of portfolio diversification, the default of one country causes a macroeconomic contraction also in other countries. This generates a self-interest for these other countries to...
