Does regulation affect the pace and nature of innovation and if so, by how much? We build a tractable and quantifiable … sharp reduction in the firm's innovation response to exogenous demand shocks for firms just below the regulatory threshold …. We then quantitatively fit the parameters of the model to the data, finding that innovation at the macro level is about 5 …

This paper investigates the effect of export shocks on innovation. On the one hand a positive shock increases market … size and therefore innovation incentives for all firms. On the other hand it increases competition as more firms enter the … export market. This in turn reduces profits and therefore innovation incentives particularly for firms with low productivity …

We analyze how demand conditions faced by a firm impacts its innovation decisions. To disentangle the direction of … causality between innovation and demand conditions, we construct a firm-level export demand shock which responds to aggregate … that this finding of a skewed innovation response to common demand shocks arises naturally from a model of endogenous …
