This annual series, sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research, brings the work of leading academic researchers to the broader policy community. Volume 6 considers such topics as the diversity of patent protection and the implications of weak patents for innovation and competition; reforms in U.S. patent policy that will encourage innovation; the multifaceted benefits of the Internet for consumers, including price competition and novel forms of communication; the drug development and approval process; the "offshoring" of research and development; and the advantages of industry-specific studies of the relationship between innovation and competition. The papers highlight the role economic theory and empirical analysis can play in evaluating current and prospective innovation policy alternatives. 606 $aTechnological innovations$xGovernment policy$xEconomic aspects 606 $aDiffusion of innovations$xGovernment policy$xEconomic aspects 610 $aBUSINESS/Innovation 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xGovernment policy$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aDiffusion of innovations$xGovernment policy$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a338.064 701 $aJaffe$b Adam B$0123133 701 $aLerner$b Joshua$0126643 701 $aStern$b Scott$f1969-$01533626 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777797803321 996 $aInnovation policy and the economy$93780703 997 $aUNINA
