متن کاملGlobalisation , Productivity and Technology Research Paper 2002 / 23 North - South Trade , Knowledge Spillovers and Growth
The endogenous growth literature has stimulated empirical research into links between trade and growth in general and international knowledge spillovers in particular. Results relating to the latter have been mixed and the issue of the appropriate construction of the spillover variable remains contentious. In this paper we develop measures taking account of whether knowledge is a public or priv...
متن کاملA Competition Game with Knowledge Accumulation and Spillovers
In this paper a repeated game is proposed to model competition among firms, with profit maximizing resource allocation. The proposed model differs from the usual competition models because efforts that players exert are not seen as sunk costs, but they accumulate to form a stock of knowledge that has a cost-reducing effect. In modelling knowledge accumulation, we also consider the (knowledge) s...
متن کاملAre Knowledge Spillovers Driving the Convergence of Productivity among Firms?
This study evaluates the impact of knowledge spillovers on the convergence of productivity among firms. With the use of patent citation data, knowledge spillovers are decomposed into intraand inter-industry spillovers, and internal knowledge flows. The findings from this study suggest that each firm is converging to its own steady-state productivity growth rate, which is conditional on the firm...
