University Patenting : Estimating the Diminishing Breadth of Knowledge Diffusion and Consumption

Rosell, Carlos - 2012

The rate of university patenting increased dramatically during the 1980s. To what extent did the knowledge flow patterns associated with public sector inventions change as university administrators and faculty seemingly became more commercially oriented? Using a Herfindahl-type measure of patent...

Does Research Save Lives? The Local Spillovers of Biomedical Research on Mortality

McKibbin, Rebecca; Weinberg, Bruce A. - 2022

This paper investigates the local impact of biomedical research on mortality in the USA. Causally estimating the marginal value of biomedical research is challenging due to a lack of micro data linking health outcomes to plausibly exogenous variation in research. We create a new linkage between...

Are Ideas Getting Harder to Find?

Bloom, Nicholas - 2017

In many growth models, economic growth arises from people creating ideas, and the long-run growth rate is the product of two terms: the effective number of researchers and their research productivity. We present a wide range of evidence from various industries, products, and firms showing that...

Does Gender Matter for Promotion in Science? Evidence from Physicists in France

Mairesse, Jacques; Pezzoni, Michele; Visentin, Fabiana - 2022

In this study, we investigate what are the factors of the promotion of female and male scientists at the French Institute of Physics (INP) at CNRS, one of the largest European public research organizations. We construct a long panel of INP physicists combining various data sources on their...

The Contribution of Chinese Diaspora Researchers to Global Science and China's Catching Up in Scientific Research

Xie, Qingnan; Freeman, Richard B. - 2022

This study examines the contribution of Chinese diaspora researchers – those born in China but working outside the country – to China's catching up in global science to become a world leader in research publications and citations. Using a novel name-based way to identify Chinese diaspora...

Ivory Tower Versus Corporate Lab : An Empirical Study of Basic Research and Appropriability

Trajtenberg, Manuel; Henderson, Rebecca M.; Jaffe, Adam B. - 2021

We explore the use of patent citations to measure the "basicness" and appropriability of inventions. We propose that the basicness of research underlying an invention can be characterized by the nature of the previous patents cited by an invention; that the basicness of research outcomes relates...

From Imitation to Innovation : Where is All that Chinese R&D Going?

König, Michael D.; Song, Zheng (Michael); … - 2022

We construct an endogenous growth model with random interactions where firms are subject to distortions. The TFP distribution evolves endogenously as firms seek to upgrade their technology over time either by innovating or by imitating other firms. We use the model to quantify the effects of...
