The aim of this paper is to estimate the effect of research externalities across space, in generating innovation. We do so by using R&D and patent data for eighty-six European Regions in the 1977-1995 period. We find that spillovers exist for regions within a distance of 300 Km from each other....

the new technology may turn out to generate a new pollution problem. R&D may therefore be optimally undertaken more than … once. Using and externding recent results from multi-stage optimal control theory, we provide a full characterization of … the optimal pollution and R&D policies. The optimal R&D program is strictly sequential and has an endogenous stopping …
