Abstract: | The author provides new estimates of the relative impact of intranational and international knowlwdge spillovers on innovation and productivity at the firm level, using previously unexploited panel data from the U.S. and Japan. The estimates suggest that knowledge spillovers are primarily intranational in scope, providing empirical confirmation of an important assumption in much of the theoretical literature. |
