New indications of managerial innovations are created and then used to show that changes in organizational technologies are an important source of economic growth.

Service growth in product firms is one of the most active service research domains and is open to a variety of conceptualizations. This article provides a critical inquiry into the past, present, and future of the research domain. The evolution of the research on service growth is discussed in...

We provide new evidence that disruptions in firm's access to credit during the recent financial crisis had significant effects on product innovation in the consumer-goods sector. We combine highly granular retail-scan data with lending data from the Community Reinvestment Act and Dealscan and we...

Research and development (R&D) collaborations are horizontal agreements among firms to join forces in their inventive activities.

Suppose firms are subject to decreasing returns and permanent idiosyncratic productivity shocks. Suppose also firms can only stay in business by continuously paying a fixed cost. New firms can enter. Firms with a history of relatively good productivity shocks tend to survive and others are...

This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact the EU Single Market Program has exerted on market power and total factor productivity in a large sample of Italian firms. By splitting the full sample on the basis of the ex-ante likelihood of being affected by the removal of non-tariff...

This paper deals with innovative activities of firms, the resulting market success as well as the interdependencies between both. In a first theoretical part, different cases of those interdependencies are investigated by the way of a simple model based on replicator dynamics. It is shown that...
