A new model of economic growth introduces the knowledge filter between new generic knowledge and economically …-useful knowledge. It identifies both the formation of new ventures and the absorptive capacity of incumbent firms as the mechanisms … that penetrate the knowledge filter. Recent empirical work has shown that new firms are more proficient at penetrating the …

This paper draws attention to two important characteristics of knowledge which so far have been left unexplored, and … knowledge's complementarity with other knowledge and its norm represents its potential economic value. …
