• The Anatomy of Growth in the OECD since 1870: the Transformation from the Post-Malthusian Growth Regime to the Modern Growth Epoch (2009, background): “The Schumpeterian growth models of Aghion and Howitt (1998), Peretto (1998), Howitt (1999), and Peretto and Smulders (2002) maintain the scale effects from first-generation endogenous growth models but assume that the effectiveness of R&D dilutes due to the proliferation of products as the economy…”
• Technological Opportunity and Growth (2005, background): “The conception of a technology space has for long been prevalent in empirical research on patent data (Griliches, 1979; Jaffe, 1986) and aspects like technological distance between firms and ideas have been formalized in different ways by Kauffman et al. (2000) and Peretto and Smulders (2002) .”
• Animal spirits and the composition of innovation in a lab-equipment R&D model with transition (2009, background): “The non-tournament models, in turn, postulate vertical R&D is made by the incumbent and horizontal R&D is carried out by entrants (e.g., Dinopoulos and Thompson, 1998; Peretto and Smulders, 2002).”

• Scale effects in endogenous growth theory: an error of aggregation not specification (2006, methodology): “…oligopolistic market power, fixed operating costs as opposed to sunk costs, international trade, endogenous population growth, that have been discussed in detail in the literature (see Aghion & Howitt, 1998, 2005; Galor, 2005; Jones, 2005; Peretto & Connolly, 2004; Peretto & Smulders, 2002).”
• The Manhattan Metaphor (2007, background): “As discussed in detail in Aghion and Howitt (1998), Peretto (1998) and Peretto and Smulders (2002), as long the knowledge aggregator does not rise with the number of sectors/goods, there is no scale effect. to that posited for sector-specific incremental innovation.”
