Mapping the Knowledge Space : Exploiting Unassisted Machine Learning Tools
Teodoridis, Florenta; Lu, Jino; Furman, Jeffrey L. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Understanding factors affecting the direction of innovation is a central aim of research in the economics of innovation. Progress on this topic has been inhibited by difficulties in measuring distance and movement in knowledge space. We describe a methodology that infers the mapping of the...

An Atemporal Microeconomic Theory and an Empirical Test of Price-Induced Technical Progress
Caputo, Michael R.; Paris, Quirino - 2015
An exhaustive comparative statics analysis of a general price taking cost-minimizing model of the firm operating under the influence of price-induced technical progress is carried out from a dual vista. The resulting refutable implications are observable and thus amenable to empirical...

Endogenous Growth and Technological Progress with Innovation Driven by Social Interactions
Marsiglio, Simone; Tolotti, Marco - 2015
We analyze the implications of innovation and social interactions on economic growth in a stylized endogenous growth model with heterogenous research firms. A large number of research firms decide whether to innovate or not, by taking into account what competitors (i.e., other firms) do. This is...
