This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D-to-innovation and innovation-to-productivity relationships, which have mostly … conditional mean of labor productivity: through an observed binary indicator, an observed intensity variable or through the … Community Innovation Survey. The results provide evidence of robust unidirectional causality from innovation to productivity and …

This paper seeks to explain the U-shaped relationship between farm productivity and farm scale - the initial fall in … productivity as farm size increases from its lowest levels and the continuous upward trajectory as scale increases after a …

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 effects of parent firm R&D are diminished by geographic distance from … the research lab and `technological' distance between the product-field focus of the R&D and the plants; (2) productivity …

We find … that R&D and ICT are both strongly associated with innovation and productivity, with R&D being more important for … innovation, and ICT investment being more important for productivity. For the median firm, rates of return to both investments …
