Necessity as the mother of invention: Innovative responses to natural disasters
Miao, Qing; Popp, David - In: Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 68 (2014) 2, pp. 280-295
How do innovators respond to the shock of a natural disaster? Do natural disasters spur technical innovations that can reduce the risk of future hazards? This paper examines the impact of three types of natural disasters—floods, droughts and earthquakes—on the innovation of their respective...

Endogenizing Technological Change: Matching Empirical Evidence to Modeling Needs
Pizer, William A.; Popp, David - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2007
Given that technologies to significantly reduce fossil fuel emissions are currently unavailable or only available at high cost, technological change will be a key component of any long-term strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In light of this, the amount of research on the pace,...

Intellectual Returnees as Drivers of Indigenous Innovation: Evidence from the Chinese Photovoltaic Industry
Luo, Siping; Lovely, Mary E.; Popp, David - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2013
We offer new evidence on indigenous innovation and intellectual returnees by estimating the relationship between patenting by Chinese photovoltaic firms and the presence of corporate leaders with international experience. Our research approach combines data from three sources: the industrial...

Costs and benefits of inter-departmental innovation collaboration
Cuijpers, Maarten; Guenter, Hannes; Hussinger, Katrin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2011
Inter-departmental innovation collaboration facilitates innovation performance. At the same time, it has been … manufacturing firms we show inter-departmental innovation collaboration to increase process innovation performance, but also to … produce costs in terms of project delay and project termination. These costs, however, do not affect innovation performance at …

Time in Purgatory: Determinants of the Grant Lag for U.S. Patent Applications
Johnson, Daniel; Popp, David; Juhl, Ted - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2003
The impacts of two recent changes in US patent policy depend on the length of time it takes for an invention to go through the examination process. Concerns over the distributional effects of these changes were expressed during policy debates. We use data on U.S. patent applications and grants...
