Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Innovation is increasingly viewed as the key to elevate prosperity and secure sustainable long-run growth. The last decades have witnessed a refinement of previous growth models to include also investments in education by individuals and R&D by firms. Better educated individuals and increased expenditure on R&D is then shown to result in innovations and accelerated growth. The issues discussed in this chapter refer to how innovative opportunities arise and are exploited, whether the normative conclusions of contemporary growth models are derived from a realistic micro-economic setting, and suggestions as to how these models can be improved in order to provide appropriate guidance for policy-makers. More precisely, there seems to be a missing link between the production of knowledge and its conversion to societal economic value. Whereas the neoclassical growth model attributed knowledge production to an exogenous 'technical residual', current knowledge based growth models assume the diffusion of to take place exogenously or can be attributed an 'entrepreneurial residual'.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There are systematic long-run differences in the performance of firms. This chapter argues that such persistent performance gaps can be explained by the fact that firms employ different R&D-strategies. Controlling for unobservable heterogeneity, past performance and other firm characteristics, that labour productivity is shown to be, on average, 13 percent higher among firms with persistent R&D commitment and 4 percent higher among firms which make occasional R&D efforts when compared with firms which do not invest in R&D. Furthermore, firms which employ a strategy with persistent R&D efforts are rewarded with a productivity growth rate that, on average, is about 2 percent higher than for other firms. The results are similar when firm performance is measured as total sales or exports per labour input.
