we study their effect on firms' communication in a laboratory experiment. Using machine learning to organize the chat … communication into topics, we find that firms are less likely to communicate explicitly about price fixing when sanctioning … institutions are present. At the same time, average prices are lower when communication is less explicit. A mediation analysis …

The aim of this paper is to develop a spatial model that explicitly incorporates the different types of knowledge … knowledge via face-to-face interactions. Our model incorporates two forms of knowledge spillovers happening in these meetings … whose intensities are dependent on the similarity of knowledge background of the interacting individuals: First, the …

This paper presents a new framework for modeling the fine microstructure of knowledge creation dynamics. Our focus is … on the creation of working nowledge used in innovation, for example, the knowledge used by a researcher in the economics … operational structure of working knowledge? How are specific new ideas, research papers, and patents created by a research worker …

This paper attempts to analyze the impact of knowledge and knowledge spillovers on regional total factor productivity … (TFP) in Europe. Regional patent stocks are used as a proxy for knowledge, and TFP is measured in terms of a superlative … periods. In order to estimate the impact of knowledge stocks we use a spatial autoregressive model with random effects, which …

The paper examines the impact of communication cost reductions on growth and welfare by means of an endogenous spatial … innovators need to learn from the existing stock of knowledge by communicating with others across space, which is a costly …
