External vs. Internal Learning-by-Doing in an R&D Based Growth Model
Hornstein, Andreas - 2012
In an economy where growth is determined by the interaction of R&D and learning-by-doing (LBD), changes of factors that stimulate either one of these activities affect growth differently than in an economy where growth is determined by either R&D or LBD alone. In particular, when firms...

Back to Basics : Basic Research Spillovers, Innovation Policy and Growth
Akcigit, Ufuk - 2014
This paper introduces a model of endogenous growth through basic and applied research. Basic research differs from applied research in the nature and the magnitude of the generated spillovers. We propose a novel way of empirically identifying these spillovers and embed them in a general...

Innovation vs. imitation and the evolution of productivity distributions
König, Michael D.; Lorenz, Jan; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 11 (2016) 3, pp. 1053-1102
We develop a tractable dynamic model of productivity growth and technology spillovers that is consistent with the emergence of real world empirical productivity distributions. Firms can improve productivity by engaging in in-house R\&D, or alternatively, by trying to imitate other firms'...
