    Insurance and Incentives for Medical Innovation (2006)
    Berkeley, Calif. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)
    Forum for health economics & policy 9 (2006), S. 4 
    Details
    ISSN: 1558-9544

    Topics: Medicine , Economics
    Notes: This paper studies the interactions between health insurance and the incentives for innovation. Although we focus on pharmaceutical innovation, our discussion applies to other industries producing novel technologies for sale in markets with subsidized demand. Standard results in the growth and productivity literatures suggest that firms in many industries may possess inadequate incentives to innovate. Standard results in the health literature suggest that health insurance leads to the overutilization of health care. Our study of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry emphasizes the interaction of these incentives. Because of the large subsidies to demand from health insurance, limits on the lifetime of patents and possibly limits on monopoly pricing may be necessary to ensure that pharmaceutical companies do not possess excess incentives for innovation.

    Was an Industrial Revolution Inevitable? Economic Growth Over the Very Long Run (2001)
    Berkeley, Calif. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)
    Advances in macroeconomics 1.2001, 2, art1 
    Details
    ISSN: 1534-6013
    Source: Berkeley Electronic Press Academic Journals
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper studies a growth model that is able to match several key facts of economic history. For thousands of years, the average standard of living seems to have risen very little, despite increases in the level of technology and large increases in the level of the population. Then, after thousands of years of little change, the level of per capita consumption increased dramatically in less than two centuries. Quantitative analysis of the model highlights two factors central to understanding this history. The first is a virtuous circle: more people produce more ideas, which in turn makes additional population growth possible. The second is an improvement in institutions that promote innovation, such as property rights: the simulated economy indicates that arguably the single most important factor in the transition to modern growth has been the increase in the fraction of output paid to compensate inventors for the fruits of their labor.

    A novel method for detection and characterization of ochere suppressors in Escherichia coli (1978)
    Springer
    Molecular genetics and genomics 159 (1978), S. 179-184 
    Details
    ISSN: 1617-4623
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary We have found a new method for specifically detecting the occurrence of ochre (UAA) suppression in Escherichia coli. It is based on a procedure we used several years ago to distinguish trpA missense mutants from nonsense mutants, and relies on the generally low efficiency of suppression that seems to be characteristic of ochre suppressors in E. coli. Suppressed ochre mutants are distinguishable from trpA revertants by their inability to grow on glucose minimal medium containing a low concentration (1.5 μm/ml) of indole and a high concentration (50 μg/ml) of 5-methyl-DL-tryptophan (Ind-5MT). The procedure provides a specific and rapid means for detection of UAA derived from missense codons and has also been exploited to obtain different classes of ochre suppressors derived from the amber suppressor supDam and from a glycine tRNA missense suppressor. The Ind-5MT phenotype seems to depend in some way on the location of the ochre codon within the trpA messenger RNA. The method can be put to many uses and should be generally applicable to all low-efficiency nonsense suppressors, including those specific for UAG and UGA.

    Too Much of a Good Thing? The Economics of Investment in R&D (2000)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 5 (2000), S. 65-85 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: endogenous growth ; optimal R&D ; externalities
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Research and development is a key determinant of long-run productivity and welfare. A central issue is whether a decentralized economy undertakes too little or too much R&D. We develop an endogenous growth model that incorporates parametrically four important distortions to R&D: the surplus appropriability problem, knowledge spillovers, creative destruction, and duplication externalities. Calibrating the model, we find that the decentralized economy typically underinvests in R&D relative to what is socially optimal. The only exceptions to this conclusion occur when the duplication externality is strong and the equilibrium real interest rate is simultaneously high.

    Convergence Revisited (1997)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 2 (1997), S. 131-153 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: economic growth ; convergence ; world income distribution
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract The recent literature on convergence has departed fromthe earlier literature by focusing on the shape of the productionfunction and the rate at which an economy converges to its ownsteady state. This article uses advances from the recent literatureto look back at the question that originally motivated the convergenceliterature: what will the distribution of per capita income looklike in the future? Several results are highlighted by the analysis,including the suggestion that there is little reason to expectthe United States to maintain its position as world leader interms of output per worker.

    Productivity and convergence across U.S. States and industries (1996)
    Springer
    Empirical economics 21 (1996), S. 113-135 
    Details
    ISSN: 1435-8921
    Keywords: Economic growth ; labor productivity ; convergence ; industry composition ; panel unit roots ; O47 ; O51 ; C33
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract We examine the sources of aggregate labor productivity movements and convergence in the U.S. states from 1963 to 1989. Productivity levels vary widely across sectors and across states, as do sectoral output and employment shares. The main finding is the diverse performance of sectors regarding convergence. Using both cross-section and time series methods, we find convergence in labor productivity for both manufacturing and mining. However, we find that convergence does not hold for all sectors over the period. Decomposing aggregate convergence into industry productivity gains and changing sectoral shares of output, we find the manufacturing sector to be responsible for the bulk of cross-state convergence.

    Nonrivalry and the Economics of Data (2020)
    American Economic Association
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-09-01
    Description: Data is nonrival: a person’s location history, medical records, and driving data can be used by many firms simultaneously. Nonrivalry leads to increasing returns. As a result, there may be social gains to data being used broadly across firms, even in the presence of privacy considerations. Fearing creative destruction, firms may choose to hoard their data, leading to the inefficient use of nonrival data. Giving data property rights to consumers can generate allocations that are close to optimal. Consumers balance their concerns for privacy against the economic gains that come from selling data broadly. (JEL C80, D11, D21, D83, E22, K11, O34)
