In the past decade, contributors to the endogenous growth literature have identified a variety of ways that trade policy might affect long run growth. Among these, Lucas (1993) has argued that the mechanisms emphasized by Krugman (1987), Stokey (1988 and 1991) and Young (1991) provide an...

The U.S. and EU Merger Guidelines strongly emphasize the relevance of the ease of entry argument in merger evaluations. Up to now, very little is known empirically about how mergers affect the resulting number of firms in the markets. We empirically test this aspect of mergers using a...

This paper examines the association between the outcome of business incubation and the resources used by incubators, by using a small panel of science and technology business incubators (STBIs) in China. We find that while the number of firms graduating from an STBI is closely correlated with...

The ability of firms to establish R&D collaborations that combine resources, exploit complementary know-how, and internalize R&D externalities has been shown to be of high importance for the successful creation and implementation of new knowledge. We argue in this article that collaborative R&D...

The U.S. and EU Merger Guidelines strongly emphasize the relevance of the "ease of entry" argument in merger evaluations. Up to now, very little is known empirically about how mergers affect entry and exit, and the resulting number of firms in the markets. We empirically test this aspect of...

We estimate a knowledge production function for university patenting using an individual effects negative binomial model. We control for R&D expenditures, research field and the presence of a TTO office. We distinguish between three kinds of researchers who staff labs: faculty, postdoctoral...
