We draw on a dynamical two-sector model and on a calibration exercise to study the impact of a skill-biased technological shock on the growth path and income distribution of a developing economy. The model builds on the theoretical framework developed by Silverberg and Verspagen (1995) and on...

The aim of this study is to test the possible catalysing role of in-house R&D in fostering thecomplementarity of innovative inputs on a sample of 3045 manufacturing firms drawn fromthe third Italian Community Innovation Survey (1998-2000). The interactions between fourdifferent sources of...

Using a balanced panel of 215 Italian manufacturing firms over the 1995-2000 period, thispaper investigates the determinants of R&D investment at the level of the firm. While findingfurther support for the well-established technology-push and demand-pull hypotheses, thisstudy also tests the role...

This paper discusses the determinants of three alternative measures of innovative output by looking at firm's own formal R&D activities and at the acqusition of external technology (TA) in its embodied and disembodied components. These input-output relationships are also discussed by...

This paper examines the determinants of young innovative companies’ (YICs) R&D activitiestaking into account the autoregressive nature of innovation. Using a large longitudinal datasetcomprising Spanish manufacturing firms over the period 1990-2008, we find that previousR&D experience is a...
