The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Solow residual relates to innovation at the firm level. We estimate two … kinds of relationships. The first relationship explains innovation output from innovation inputs. The second relationship … relates TFP growth to innovation output. We obtain two main results. First, the determinants of incremental and radical …

This paper studies the link between productivity, innovation and research at the firm level. We introduce three new … features: (i) A structural model that explains productivity by innovation output, and innovation output by research investments … of firms engage in research activities and/or apply for patents; productivity, innovation and research and endogenously …

product innovations on productivity, as well as on the role played by R&D and fixed capital investment in enhancing the … likelihood of introducing innovations at the firm level. Our results imply that process innovation has a large impact on … productivity. Furthermore, R&D spending is strongly positively associated with the probability of introducing a new product …
