The European Union has implemented demand push and technology pull policies to foster innovation on the energy and … rarely treats product and process innovation separately and product quality is, in the best case, exogenous. We develop a … dynamic multi-sector CGE model that distinguishes between R&D-based process innovation for all firms, endogenous product …

Using a vertical differentiation model of endogenous growth with stochastic R&D activity, we characterise the optimal patent lifetime a government would set in order to maximise economic growth. We show that a finite patent lifetime does exist and is unique provided that the expected rate of...
