Innovation networks: creation, diffusion and absorption of technology in the economy

我想制定一个研究议程，其主要重点是创新与增长之间的联系，特别是政府主导的创新如何影响私营企业的创新速度。我感兴趣的是创新的公益性质，以及企业如何应对政府在军事、学术、空间和环境研究方面增加的支出。通过使用专利数据，我相信本文可以帮助我们理解知识在经济中流动的机制。专利数据是一种可靠的识别来源，也是最近关于通过投入产出联系传播冲击的文献中的理论见解

I would like to develop a research agenda whose main focus is the link between innovation and growth, and in particular, how government-led innovation affects the rates of innovation of private sector firms. I am interested in the public good nature of innovation and how businesses react to increased government spending in military, academic, spatial and environmental research.By using patent data, a credible source of identification and theoretical insights from the recent literature on the propagation of shocks through input-output linkages, I believe that this paper can contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms through which knowledge flows in the economy
