Knowledge Spillovers, Innovation and Growth
基于吸收能力概念，分析知识溢出如何影响研发互补性，并探讨其对跨国收敛与发散、气候变化政策协调以及开放性的作用，为理解研发溢出在创新与增长中的角色提供新视角。
Cohen and Levinthal (1989) introduced the notion of absorptive capacity and demonstrated that knowledge spillovers can induce complementarities in R&D efforts. We show that this idea has rich implications when analysing important aspects of the growth process such as cross‐country convergence and divergence, the international co‐ordination of climate change policies, and the role of openness in the production of ideas. We also show that the notion of absorptive capacity sets an agenda for new empirical and theoretical analyses of the role of R&D spillovers in innovation and growth.
