Download or read book Three Essays on R D Investment written by Massoud Khazabi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first essay titled "Fundamental Sources of Long-run Labour Productivity Improvements in Canada" examines the importance of Research and Development activities, as well as the stock of public infrastructure, and economic openness as sources of growth in labour productivity in the Canadian economy within the last four decades. The second paper titled "R & D Spillovers, Innovation, and Entry" extends a theoretical framework to analyze the impact of R & D spillovers on entry and the resulting equilibrium market structure. It is shown that the degree of spillovers plays a fundamental role on the number of firms entering the market, their R & D activities, and social welfare. The third paper titled "The Search for New Drugs: A Theory of R & D in the Pharmaceutical Industry" uses a dynamic model of optimal patent design and in the presence of information externalities studies the evolution of technological progress in the context of a pharmaceutical industry.
Download or read book Innovation Systems Technology Diffusion and Industrial Linkages written by Sorin M. S. Krammer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of three essays that explore different aspects of innovation and new technology, namely creation, diffusion and exchange. Each study is developed as an individual paper that asks a related, yet different, research question and answers it by analyzing empirically three distinct datasets. The goal is to explore various aspects of technology in an international context, both at the country and firm level, and with a particular focus on developing nations. These countries rely heavily on technology imports and spillovers from industrialized nations, hoping however, to develop in parallel own national capabilities that will ensure good growth perspectives for the future. Geographically, the first two essays are centered on transition countries from Eastern Europe and Central Asia that provide a nice natural experiment of countries moving from centralized and autarkic economic systems to free market economies, and also increasingly open to the world's economy. The last essay is a true global analysis of diffusion via technological agreements between firms in the tire industry, a truly global segment represented in more than 90 countries worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fagerberg's (economics, U. of Oslo) research project investigating why some countries succeed much better than others in generating growth and competitiveness, was suppose to run from 1983 to 1986, but refused to go away. Some of the 16 reproduced essays were published in 1987, some were part of his 1988 Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Sussex, and some have appeared as late as 2000. Together they represent a more complete analysis of the relationship between technology, growth, and competitiveness than he has attempted before. Each can be read separately. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: This dissertation is a collection of three relatively independent essays on economic growth in Singapore. In the first chapter, I construct a low-frequency macroeconometric model to investigate the association between eight key macroeconomic variables, consisting of FDI net inflows, gross fixed capital formation, openness to trade, labor compensation, unit labor costs, domestic credit to private sector, real interest rate, and capital stock, and a variety of relevant macroeconomic variables in Singapore for the period 1980-2009. The model contains two submodels: a multivariate autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and an enhanced first-order autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. My results are broadly consistent with evidence from previous empirical studies, and have important policy implications for characterizing Singapore's medium- and long-term growth path. The second chapter re-estimates the contributions of various inputs to Singapore's output growth for the period 1980-2009. To address the impact of quality-adjusted human capital and time-varying factor shares on these contributions, I extend the translog production function approach developed by Jorgenson et al. (1987) by incorporating human-capital-adjusted labor and the assumption of time-varying shares of physical capital. The results show that a decline in capital deepening is partly offset by improvements in labor quality and procyclical productivity growth. They also imply that estimation of contributions of various inputs without considering quality-adjusted labor input is biased. In the third chapter, I measure the contemporaneous and one-period-lagged effects of the level of economic development, R&D spending, FDI net inflows, and infrastructure on innovation using a unique panel data set of 17 Group of Twenty (G20) countries and the European Union (EU) as a whole for the period 1996-2011. Additionally, I examine and compare the innovation trends in Singapore with the empirical results in different country groups of the G20 to explore the determinants of innovation in Singapore. This essay highlights the economic importance of R&D spending and infrastructure relative to that of FDI net inflows and the level of economic development addressed in traditional studies. It also implies that routinely pooling developed and developing countries can result in misleading conclusions and inappropriate policy recommendations. Besides relying on infrastructure to promote innovation, Singapore ought to apply R&D and technology spillovers to domestic enterprises more efficiently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is written in the popular literature about the current pace of technological change. But do we have enough scientific knowledge about the sources and management of innovation to properly inform policymaking in technology dependent domains such as energy and the environment? While it is agreed that technological change does not 'fall from heaven like autumn leaves,' the theory, data, and models are deficient. The specific mechanisms that govern the rate and direction of inventive activity, the drivers and scope for incremental improvements that occur during technology diffusion, and the spillover effects that cross-fertilize technological innovations remain poorly understood. In a work that will interest serious readers of history, policy, and economics, the editors and their distinguished contributors offer a unique, single volume overview of the theoretical and empirical work on technological change. Beginning with a survey of existing research, they provide analysis and case studies in contexts such as medicine, agriculture, and power generation, paying particular attention to what technological change means for efficiency, productivity, and reduced environmental impacts. The book includes a historical analysis of technological change, an examination of the overall direction of technological change, and general theories about the sources of change. The contributors empirically test hypotheses of induced innovation and theories of institutional innovation. They propose ways to model induced technological change and evaluate its impact, and they consider issues such as uncertainty in technology returns, technology crossover effects, and clustering.
