This paper proposes to explain the productivity growth slowdown with the poaching of disruptive inventors by firms … these inventors threaten with their research. I build an endogenous growth model with incremental and disruptive innovation …

This study examines the relationship between innovation and economic growth. More precisely, it seeks to check whether … unrelated regression (SUR) model indicate that GDP growth does not respond to local innovation in African countries. However, we … found that imported innovation is positively and significantly correlated with GDP growth. Findings also indicate that …

This paper proposes an endogenous growth model to study whether innovation activities generate business cycles. We find … technology is introduced in the secondary innovation sector, the learning-by-doing effect initially dominates, and the growth … rate increases. Subsequently, the fishing-out effect dominates, and the growth rate starts to decrease. When the …

I show that these results arise naturally in a Schumpeterian … growth model where monopolistic firms conduct “defensive patenting” to hamper competitors’ R&D. A calibration of this model …

Ever since the dire predictions of The Limits to Growth (Meadows & al. 1972) failed to come true on time, it's been all … too easy to ridicule environmentally-based arguments against economic growth as pessimistic and "Malthusian."
