Kyle Richmond's research agenda is to investigate the link between market structure and innovation within the context of Britain's relative economic decline from the end of the Second World War to the 1970s, a period conventionallyknown as the Golden Age of Capitalism. Richmond proposes to contribute novel historical patent data to gauge the level of innovative activity at both the industry-level and the firm-level in Britain over this period. This will permit an analysis of the dynamic link between market structure and innovation during a period of increasing industrial concentration in Britain, as well as an investigation into the role of innovation as a potential contributor to Britain's relative economic decline.This research has the potential to contribute to both the historical narrative concerning Britain's poor post-war economic performance, as well as the larger debate in economics concerning the link between market structure and innovation.

凯尔·里士满的研究议程是在二战结束至20世纪70年代英国经济相对衰退的背景下，研究市场结构与创新之间的联系。这段时期通常被称为资本主义的黄金时代。里士满建议贡献新颖的历史专利数据，以衡量这一时期英国行业和公司层面的创新活动水平。这将有助于分析在英国工业集中度日益提高的时期市场结构和创新之间的动态联系，以及对创新作为英国相对经济衰退的潜在贡献者的作用的调查。这项研究有可能有助于英国战后糟糕的经济表现的历史叙事，以及经济学中关于市场结构和创新之间联系的更大辩论。
