Innovation, Diffusion, and Trade
Eaton, Jonathan - 2006
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...

Words in Patents : Research Inputs and the Value of Innovativeness in Invention
Packalen, Mikko - 2012
Intelligently allocating research effort and funds requires deciding whether to build on recent advances or on more established knowledge. When recent advances create superior opportunities for invention, their adoption as research inputs in the invention process promotes technological progress....

Global Knowledge and Trade Flows : Theory and Measurement
Lind, Nelson; Ramondo, Natalia - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We study the global innovation and diffusion of ideas by introducing trade into the model in Eaton and Kortum (1999 … intensity of innovation within countries over time and diffusion rates across countries. We find significant specialization … across the globe: some countries have high innovation rates, while other countries rely on diffusion. Although innovation is …

Return on Returns : Building Scientific Capacity in AIDS Endemic Countries
Fry, Caroline; Ganguli, Ina - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We estimate spillovers from public funding for health research in the context of the NIH's Fogarty International Center's AIDS International Training and Research Program, which aims to strengthen scientific capacity in AIDS endemic countries by providing African researchers with training...

Measuring the Commercial Potential of Science
Masclans, Roger; Hasan, Sharique; Cohen, Wesley M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper uses a large language model to develop an ex-ante measure of the commercial potential of scientific findings. In addition to validating the measure against the typical holdout sample, we validate it externally against 1.) the progression of scientific findings through a major...

The Diffusion of Scientific Knowledge Across Time and Space : Evidence from Professional Transitions for the Superstars of Medicine
Azoulay, Pierre - 2011
Are scientific knowledge flows embodied in individuals, or "in the air"? To answer this question, we measure the effect of labor mobility in a sample of 9,483 elite academic life scientists on the citation trajectories associated with individual articles (resp. patents) published (resp. granted)...

International R&D Spillovers and Institutions
Coe, David T. - 2008
The empirical analysis in "International R&D Spillovers" (Coe and Helpman, 1995) is first revisited by applying modern panel cointegration estimation techniques to an expanded data set that we have constructed for the purpose of this study. The new estimates confirm the key results reported in...

University Patenting : Estimating the Diminishing Breadth of Knowledge Diffusion and Consumption
Rosell, Carlos - 2006
The rate of university patenting increased dramatically during the 1980s. To what extent did the knowledge flow patterns associated with public sector inventions change as university administrators and faculty seemingly became more commercially oriented? Using a Herfindahl-type measure of patent...
