Knowledge-Based Capital, Innovation and Resource Allocation (2013, background): “…R&D intensity and patenting have been closely linked to productivity performance (Bloom and Van Reenen, 2002; Hall et al., 2010; Westmore, 2013), and for economies far from the technology frontier, R&D is still necessary to facilitate the adoption of foreign technologies (Griffith et al., 2004).”
Intellectual Property Rights, Foreign Direct Investment, and Industrial Development (2011, positive): “As in Grossman and Helpman (1991b) and Romer (1990), growth is driven in our model by the assumption that past innovations lower the cost of future innovations.”
Developing science, technology and innovation indicators: What we can learn from the past (2009, background): “5 See Malerba (2004) for an overview of recent work in this area.”
The evolution of inequality in productivity and wages: panel data evidence (2010, neutral): “Although this has indeed risen over the period, it cannot fully account for the increase in the productivity dispersion, as TFP has risen significantly over this period as well 19 Griffith et al. (2004) discuss the methods common in the growth accounting literature.”
R&D, knowledge spillovers and company productivity performance (2009, background): “Geographical proximity has found an interesting application in Griffith et al. (2006) where the authors show that UK firms locating their R&D activity in the US enjoy substantially higher spillover effects compared to firms that perform R&D in the UK.”
Analysis of Productivity Differences among Foreign and Domestic Firms: Evidence from Germany (2008, background): “Nevertheless the LP remains one of the most popular approaches in the literature (see for example Smarzynska Javorcik 2004; Griffith et al. 2006), as none of these extensions or alternatives has yet to emerge as superior in all cases.”
Spillovers in Space: Does Geography Matter? (2016, neutral): “4Evidence from patent citations data suggests that distance is becoming less important in the international dimension Griffith et al. (2011).”
