Innovation and Productivity
A Research Theme dedicated to the study of the drivers of innovation and how innovation translates into productivity in the economy.
Innovation and growth
We are interested in:
- how investment in basic research influence growth
- how to achieve inclusive growth through investments in science and taxation
- the impact of artificial intelligence on innovation, growth and inequality
Intellectual property rights
Intellectual property rights are a core institution of the knowledge economy. We study:
- when getting a patent drives the success of a start-up
- how the taxation of intellectual property lead to profit shifting
- how intellectual property enforcement shapes trade and growth
Talent and the knowledge frontier
Scientific breakthrough are often achieved by individuals who already excelled as teenagers. In this context, we investigate:
- how the country birth influences the knowledge produced by talented individuals
- how restricting or increasing migration would impact global knowledge production
