An inventor's own knowledge is a key input in the innovation process. This knowledge can be built by interacting with … of our new innovation-led endogenous growth model, in which innovations are produced by heterogeneous research teams of … model nests inside the innovation-based endogenous growth model. We estimate the model, which fits the data very closely …

In this paper, we develop a theoretical model of university licensing to explain why university license contracts often include payment types that differ from the fixed fees and royalties typically examined by economists. Our findings suggest that milestone payments and annual payments are...

This paper considers the observational implications of social influences on adoption decisions for an environment of perfect foresight adopters. We argue that social influences can produce two observable effects: 1) discontinuities in unconditional adoption curves and 2) pattern reversals in...
