Bloom, Nicholas - 2016

How special is the special relationship? Using the impact of US R&D spillovers on UK firms as a test of technology sourcing
Griffith, Rachel; Harrison, Rupert; Van Reenen, John - 2004
How much does US-based R&D benefit other countries and through what mechanisms? We test the 'technology sourcing' hypothesis that foreign research labs located on US soil tap into US R&D spillovers and improve home country productivity. Using panels of UK and US firms matched to patent data we...

Innovation and institutional ownership
Aghion, Philippe; Van Reenen, John; Zingales, Luigi - 2010
We find that institutional ownership in publicly traded companies is associated with more innovation (measured by cite-weighted patents). To explore the mechanism through which this link arises, we build a model that nests the lazy-manager hypothesis with career-concerns, where institutional...
