The study f...
متن کاملSpillovers in Product and Process Innovation : Evidence from Manufacturing Firms
This paper proposes a new empirical approach to assess the impact of knowledge spillovers on firms' productivity and demand. I consider a model where process innovations spillovers to other firms raise firms relative efficiency and technological diffusion of product innovations enhances firms' demand. By modelling knowledge capital as a function of own investment in R\&D and spillovers, I can c...
