Recent contributions

I conducted a search for recent contributions to the economics of innovation in the following general interest journals:

  • American Economic Review 
  • Econometrica 
  • Economic Journal 
  • European Economic Review 
  • Journal of Economic Literature 
  • Journal of Economic Perspectives 
  • Journal of Political Economy 
  • Journal of the European Economic Association 
  • Quarterly Journal of Economics 
  • Review of Economic Studies 
  • Review of Economics and Statistics

I used the ISI Web of Knowledge and the keywords innovation, R&D, research, development, patent, technological change, creative destruction and diffusion. I selected only articles that appeared relevant to the field, after reading the title and the abstract. The lists do not claim to be comprehensive.


In addition to these publications, many other relevant articles appeared in the leading field journals.
