traditional finding that knowledge spillovers depend on geographical distance or trade flows. Our findings support policies that …We also show that the evidence that knowledge spillovers flow along the supply chains is more robust than the …

There is considerable debate regarding the use of intellectual property rights (IPR) to spur innovation in the software … the existence or absence of spillovers, confirms that a co-existence is growth optimal for the industry. Further, we find …

This paper provides causal evidence of local innovation spillovers, i.e. innovation by one firm fostering innovation by … same geographical area. I also find that such local innovation spillovers decline rapidly with distance. Second, I find … that local innovation spillovers stem at least in part from knowledge diffusing locally through two channels: learning …

This paper studies the effects of strategic patenting on Ramp;D, patenting and market value in the … develop a model that incorporates both effects, together with Ramp;D spillovers. Using panel data for the period 1980- 99, we …
