创新和教育政策如何影响个人职业选择和总体生产力？本文分析了研发补贴和高等教育政策通过创新人才供给对生产率增长的影响。我们将稀缺人才、高等教育程度和职业选择置于新的内生增长框架的中心，该框架在人才、财务资源和偏好方面存在个体层面的异质性。我们将该模型与丹麦的微观数据联系起来，了解谁获得博士学位并成为发明家的背景以及一系列政策干预的结果。我们发现，与高等教育补贴相结合可以加强研发补贴，使有才华但贫穷的年轻人能够从事研究事业。教育和创新政策不仅缓解不同的摩擦，而且在不同的时间范围内影响创新。教育政策在收入不平等程度较高的社会中更为有效。
How do innovation and education policy affect individual career choices and aggregate productivity? This paper analyzes the effect of R&D subsidies and higher education policy on productivity growth through the supply of innovative talent. We put scarce talent, higher education attainment, and career choice at the center of a new endogenous growth framework with individual-level heterogeneity in talent, financial resources, and preferences. We link the model to micro-level data from Denmark on the backgrounds of who obtains a PhD and becomes an inventor and the outcomes of a set of policy interventions. We find that R&D subsidies can be strengthened when combined with higher education subsidies, which enable talented but poor youth to pursue a career in research. Education and innovation policies not only alleviate different frictions, but also impact innovation at different time horizons. Education policy is more effective in societies with higher income inequality.
