An inventor's own knowledge is a key input in the innovation process. This knowledge can be built by interacting with … of our new innovation-led endogenous growth model, in which innovations are produced by heterogeneous research teams of … model nests inside the innovation-based endogenous growth model. We estimate the model, which fits the data very closely …

We propose a new principle for measuring the cost of information structures in rational inattention problems, based on the cost of generating the information used to make a decision through a dynamic evidence accumulation process. We introduce a continuous-time model of sequential information...
