We use the universe of USPTO data on patents and inventors from 1976 to 2019 to look at the dynamics of coauthorship on patents and its relationship with competition. First, we find an inverted-U relationship between competition and the growth in coauthorship: the number of new collaborators on...

We survey the literature on the economic consequences of the structure of social networks. We develop a taxonomy of "macro" and "micro" characteristics of social interaction networks and discuss both the theoretical and empirical findings concerning the role of those characteristics in...
