Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is an important driver of economic growth, and public policy can affect many aspects of innovation. This thesis investigates the role of public policy in relation to two specific aspects of innovation: 1) who becomes an innovator and 2) where intellectual property is located once an innovation occurs. The first chapter analyzes how tax rates on patent- and trademark-related income affect where patents and trademarks are located internationally. I study how changes in patent and trademark tax rates in various countries altered the flow of patents and trademarks in and out of the countries. Using data on patent and trademark transfers from the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), combined with market-based patent value estimates, I estimate the sensitivity of IP location to the changes in tax rates. I present suggestive evidence of income shifting and tax base erosion by showing that patents and trademarks tend to locate in countries with lower tax rates. The second chapter (jointly written with Carolyn Stein and Heidi Williams) investigates the role of gender in the evaluation of patent applications submitted to the USPTO. We document that patent examiner gender appears to have no effect on the evaluation of patent applications submitted by female inventors relative to male inventors, suggesting male examiners are not differentially biased in their evaluation of patent applications from female inventors. The third chapter (jointly written with Yosub Jung) investigates how the passage of US state laws granting married women the rights to own separate property and own their earnings affected patenting by female inventors. In the 1800s, before such laws were passed, the notion of coverture meant that married women's property and earnings were controlled by their husbands. We compare patenting by women before and after the acts and show that patenting by women increased after these laws.

Book Synopsis Innovation Policy in the Knowledge-Based Economy by : M.P. Feldman
Download or read book Innovation Policy in the Knowledge-Based Economy written by M.P. Feldman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars in the science and technology field have not collectively questioned, much less proposed, an agenda for policy makers. Now is an appropriate time for such an undertaking. First, there is a growing belief that the U.S. national research and development system, like that of many industrial nations, is changing due to global competitive pressures and advancements in information technology and electronic commerce. Second, industry's R&D relationship with the academic research community is changing not only because of the global competition but also because of alterations in the level of government support of fundamental research. As a result, policy makers will need to rethink their approaches to science and technology issues. This volume is a collection of essays by scholars about innovative policy in the knowledge-based economy. By knowledge-based economy we mean one for which economic growth is based on the creation, distribution, and use of technology. As such, innovation policy in such an economy must enhance the creation, distribution, and use of knowledge that leads to the creation, distribution, and use of technology. This volume considers elements of an innovation policy: innovation policy and academic research, innovation policy in electronic commerce, and innovation policy and globalization issues.

Book Synopsis Essays in Public Sector Entrepreneurship by : David B. Audretsch
Download or read book Essays in Public Sector Entrepreneurship written by David B. Audretsch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores public sector entrepreneurship from an international perspective. It features essays from eminent scholars in the field addressing entrepreneurial public policies from different countries. Public sector entrepreneurship is at the cusp of becoming a watchword in international policy circles. This book is a pioneer volume in this emerging field and provides topics and policies that are broadly applicable across different economies. Public sector entrepreneurship refers to innovative public policy initiatives that generate greater economic prosperity by transforming a status-quo economic environment into one that is more conducive to economic units engaging in creative activities in the face of uncertainty. In today’s economy, public sector entrepreneurship affects that transformation primarily by increasing the effectiveness of knowledge networks; that is, by increasing the heterogeneity of experiential ties among economic units and the ability of those same economic units to exploit such diversity. Through policy initiatives that are characterized by public sector entrepreneurship, there will be more development of new technology and hence more innovation throughout the economy.

Book Synopsis Essays on Public Funding for Private Innovation by : Jason Rathje

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the significant annual expenditure of public (government) research and development (R& D) funding allocated to private, for-profit firms, research is unclear as to if whether or not public funding is positively associated with firm performance. To partially address this gap, in three essays I examine the most common funding tie between public organizations and private firms in the U.S. - public-private R& D relationships. In the first two essays, I conceptualize public-private R& D relationships as institutional hybrids and argue and show that relative to technologies developed without a public-sector partner, the institutional conflict underlying public-private R& D relationships is positively related to the creation of valuable and destabilizing technologies. To provide support for my institutional hybrids' hypotheses, I employ a novel machine learning-matching method to examine all patented technologies in the U.S. between the years 1982-2012. In the final essay, I focus on technology ventures (i.e., start-ups) that form a contractual R& D relationship with a public-consumer (e.g., NASA, DoD) and show that these start-ups produce technologies faster and survive longer than their non-contracted peers. However, due to the stabilizing dependencies inherent in public-consumer relationships, these ventures also experience slower growth. I conclude with management and policy implications.

Download or read book State of Innovation written by Fred L. Block and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression has generated a fundamental re-evaluation of the free-market policies that have dominated American politics for three decades. State of Innovation brings together critical essays looking at the 'innovation industry' in the context of the current crisis. The book shows how government programs and policies have underpinned technological innovation in the US economy over the last four decades, despite the strength of 'free market' political rhetoric. The contributors provide new insights into where innovations come from and how governments can support a dynamic innovation economy as the US recovers from a profound economic crisis. State of Innovation outlines a 21st century policy paradigm that will foster cutting-edge innovation which remains accountable to the public.

Book excerpt: (cont.) I prove the existence of the equilibrium and show that the model's predictions are consistent with the aforementioned reduced form evidences. These results rely on two assumptions: the concavity of the profit function with respect to firm size and the constant returns to scale property of the R&D production function. The intuition is that, when profits are concave, the incentives for radical innovation diminishes as firm size increases. As a result, R&D intensity and firm growth also decrease. Next, I estimate the structural parameters of the model using Simulated Methods of Moments and use the results to conduct a policy experiment. Since firms in this model do not internalize the positive externalities that they generate on other firms, there is underinvestment in R&D, so that there is scope for policy action through size-dependent R&D subsidies. In conclusion of this policy experiment, the optimal size-dependent R&D subsidy policy does considerably better than optimal uniform (size-independent) policy. Moreover, supporting small firms is more growth-enhancing than subsidizing big firms. For a large range of values for the elasticity of substitution, the growth enhancing effect dominates the negative impact of public spending on initial consumption. Therefore, the optimal (welfare-maximizing) policy provides higher subsidies to smaller firms.

Book Synopsis Innovation and Public Policy by : Austan Goolsbee
Download or read book Innovation and Public Policy written by Austan Goolsbee and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the latest empirical and conceptual research for readers in economics, business, and policy, this volume surveys the key components of innovation policy and the social returns to innovation investment. In advanced economies like the United States, innovation has long been recognized as a central force for increasing economic prosperity and human welfare. Today, the US government promotes innovation through various mechanisms, including tax credits for private-sector research, grant support for basic and applied research, and institutions like the Small Business Innovation Research Program of the National Science Foundation. Drawing on the latest empirical and conceptual research, Innovation and Public Policy surveys the key components of innovation policy and the social returns to innovation investment. It examines mechanisms that can advance the pace of invention and innovative activity, including expanding the research workforce through schooling and immigration policy and funding basic research. It also considers scientific grant systems for funding basic research, including those at institutions like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, and investigates the role of entrepreneurship policy and of other institutions that promote an environment conducive to scientific breakthroughs.
Book Synopsis Essays on Environmental Innovation by : Rania Mabrouk
Download or read book Essays on Environmental Innovation written by Rania Mabrouk and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovation of the 21st century has no longer as a mere objective the survival of companies in the market and the stimulation of the growth at the country level. From now on, there is an urgent need to preserve the environment to ensure the development of present and future generations. Therefore, several empirical studies and theoretical accounts place the matter at the heart of innovation and economics fields of research. The first objective of this dissertation is to examine how -at a microeconomic level- the emergence and diffusion of environmental innovations is impacted by strategic inter-firm relationships within supply-chains. In order to achieve this goal, the first chapter shows that a monopoly maintains on the market a low-quality product in the sole intention to increase his bargaining power against a supplier offering a drastic innovation -a costless high-quality product-. The second chapter explains how bargaining powers between vertically related firms can influence the adoption choice of environmental technology leading to a sub-optimal level of depollution or welfare. To deal with this situation, the regulator must adapt its regulatory policy -a tax in this case- to modify the choice of the polluting firm. However, its intervention may prove insufficient under certain conditions. The second objective of the dissertation is developed in the third chapter which identifies theoretically and empirically the macroeconomic determinants of environmental innovations in order to help the regulator to better target its interventions.
