We study how individual inventors respond to incentives to work on "clean" electricity technologies. Using natural gas … price variation, we estimate output and entry elasticities of inventors and measure the medium-term impacts of a price … increase mirroring the social cost of carbon. We find that the induced clean innovation response primarily comes from existing …

This research empirically establishes and theoretically motivates the hypothesis that population aging has a hump-shaped effect on inventive activity. We estimate this hump-shaped relationship in a panel of 33 OECD countries over the period 1960-2012. The increasing part of the hump captures the...

Innovation is part idea generation and part development. We build a model of "innovating-by-doing," whereby ideas come … to practitioners. Successful innovation requires that practitioners' ideas be developed through costly effort. Our model ….S. Medicare program on medical equipment innovation. Our model’s structure allows us to infer the Medicare program's aggregate …

I provide novel empirical evidence grounded in an original theoretical framework to explain why co-location matters for the rate, direction and quality of scientific collaboration. To address endogeneity concerns due to selection into co-location and matching, I exploit the constraints imposed...
