This volume offers new theoretical and empirical contributions to fundamental questions relating to the economics of innovation and technological change while revisiting the findings of a classic book. Central to the development of new technologies are institutional environments, and among the topics discussed here are the roles played by universities and other nonprofit research institutions and the ways in which the allocation of funds between the public and private sectors affects innovation. Other essays examine the practice of open research and how the diffusion of information technology influences the economics of knowledge accumulation. Analytically sophisticated and broad in scope, this book addresses a key topic at a time when economic growth is all the more topical. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aInventions$vCongresses 606 $aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects$vCongresses 606 $aDiscoveries in science$vCongresses 606 $aAcademic-industrial collaboration$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInventions 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aDiscoveries in science 615 0$aAcademic-industrial collaboration 676 $a338/.064 701 $aLerner$b Joshua$0126643 701 $aStern$b Scott$f1969-$0874549 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461731503321 996 $aThe rate and direction of inventive activity revisited$92088712 997 $aUNINA
