An Investigation of Spanish SME Innovation during Different Economic Conditions (2013, background): “A number of studies (Barlevy, 2007; Comin and Gertler 2006; Fatas 2000; Giedeman, Isely, and Simons 2006; Griliches 1990; Rafferty 2003) reported that investment in innovation varied directly with the business cycle.”
Financing constraints and investments in R&D: Evidence from Indian manufacturing firms (2015, neutral): “By undertaking such an exercise, we contribute to a recent debate about the cyclicality of R&D (see Aghion et al 2012, Barlevy, 2007).”
The impact of R&D subsidies during the crisis (2015, background): “Barlevy (2007) shows that R&D behaves pro-cyclical, resulting in inefficient R&D investment during recessions.”
A Trapped-Factors Model of Innovation † (2013, background): “After substituting in monopoly output (5), the expression for the profit per period from the sale of the good becomes”
Technology Diffusion: Measurement, Causes and Consequences (2014, background): “The exception is Barlevy (2007), who found a positive co-movement between firm-level growth in real R&D expenditures and 4-digit sector level growth in aggregate demand. Nevertheless, R&D and technology adoption are distinct activities that are undertaken by different companies and that also differ ”
On the Cyclicality of R&D (2011, background): “…gaps in the series of company-financed R&D. Nonetheless, the interpolated values are concentrated in six industries, and the results remain robust to leaving these industries out of the analysis.3 All of the R&D series are converted into 2000 dollars using the GDP deflator (Barlevy, 2007).”
Endogenous Technology Adoption and R&D as Sources of Business Cycle Persistence (2019, background): “Therefore, rit declines with the age of 4There is a long literature documenting the cyclicality of R&D expenditures (see Barlevy (2007), for a summary).”
Strategic management during the financial crisis: How firms adjust their strategic investments in response to credit market disruptions (2021, background): “, Aghion, Askenazy, Berman, Cette, & Eymard, 2012; Anand & Singh, 1997; Barlevy, 2007; Fabrizio & Tsolmon, 2014; Ouyang, 2011). In contrast, little is known of firm strategy when financial markets collapse. Such events are (fortunately) rare—the past century witnessed only two such events: the Great”
The Economics of Growth (2008, background): “In a recent paper, Barlevy (2007) challenges the view that credit constraints are the main explanation for the observed procyclicality of R&D investments. He looks at the Compustat database, which includes larger fi rms, but these account for most of R&D expenditures in the United States. What Barle”
Credit Constraints and the Cyclicality of R&D Investment: Evidence from France (2012, background): “Prior evidence on R&D investments over the cycle, is provided by Griliches (1990), Comin and Gertler (2006), and Barlevy (2007), although not in relation to ﬁrms’ credit constraints 2 .”
