Aghion, Philippe; Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Hemous, David; … - 2012
Can directed technical change be used to combat climate change? We construct new firm-level panel data on auto industry innovation distinguishing between dirty (internal combustion engine) and clean (e.g. electric and hybrid) patents across 80 countries over several decades. We show that firms...

Innovation and institutional ownership
Aghion, Philippe; Van Reenen, John; Zingales, Luigi - 2010
We find that institutional ownership in publicly traded companies is associated with more innovation (measured by cite-weighted patents). To explore the mechanism through which this link arises, we build a model that nests the lazy-manager hypothesis with career-concerns, where institutional...
