How Trade Patterns and Technology Flows Affect Productivity Growth

Keller, Wolfgang - 1999

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. - 1987

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. - 2012

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 - 2010

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...

Heart of Darkness : Modeling Public-Private Funding Interactions Inside the R&D Black Box

David, Paul A. - 2000

This paper is a first step toward closing the analytical gap in the extensive literature on the results of interactions between public and private R&D expenditures, and their joint effects on the economy. Econometric studies in this area report a plethora of sometimes confusing and frequently...

Geographic Localization of International Technology Diffusion

Keller, Wolfgang - 2000

Convergence in per capita income across countries turns on whether technological knowledge spillover are global or local. This paper estimates the amount of spillover from R&D expenditures in major industrialized countries on a geographic basis. A new data set is used which encompasses most of...

Endogenous R&D Spillovers and Industrial Research Productivity

Adams, James D. - 2000

This paper explores the implications of a simple model of learning and innovation by firms. In this model R&D spillovers are partly determined by firms, rather than by the given economic environment. According to this approach the full effect of spillovers on research productivity of firms...

Research and Development and Intraindustry Spillovers : An Empirical Application of Dynamic Duality

Bernstein, Jeffrey I. - 1986

In this paper we estimate a model of production and investment based on the theory of dynamic duality and are particularly Interested in the effects of R&D spillovers and in calculating the social and private rates of return. We identify and estimate three effects associated with the...

Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D : Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits and Market Value

Jaffe, Adam B. - 1986

This paper presents evidence that firms' patents, profits and market value are systematically related to the"technological position" of firms' research programs. Further, firms are seen to "move" in technology space in response to the pattern of contemporaneous profits at different positions....
