The paper investigates the links between the nature of contractual relationships within firms, the strength of information flows spreading between firms and the dynamics of technological competition.
The author utilizes a large matched employer-employee data set and test for knowledge diffusion from subsidised technology firms transmitted through the labor market.
The author presents an endogenous growth model that studies the effects of local inter-industry and intra-industry knowledge spillovers in R&D on the allocation of economic activities between two regions.
Using panels of UK and U.S. firms matched to patent data, the authors show that UK firms who had established a high proportion of U.S.-based inventors by 1990 benefited disproportionately from the growth of the U.S. research and development (R&D) stock over the next 10 years.

The authors develop a model of two-stage cumulative research and development in which one research unit with an innovative idea bargains to license her nonverifiable interim knowledge exclusively to one of two competing development units.
The paper analyses the interaction of two topics that are a key area of concern for contemporary managers and researchers. These include supply chain management (SCM) and internet. The aim of the paper is to define e-SCM, analyze how research in this area has evolved during the period
1995-2003 and identify some lines of further research.
The paper examines academic earmarks and its role in the funding of university research. It provides a summary and review of the evidence on the supply of earmarks by legislators.
The paper investigates the association between total factor productivity growth and the research and development (R&D) expenditures of Swedish manufacturing firms in the presence of domestic- and international R&D spillovers. Results indicate that a catch-up process exists by which the non-frontier firms in the Swedish manufacturing sector absorb knowledge spillovers from the leading firms in the industry.
Although Sweden is one of the most research and development (R&D)-intensive OECD-countries, the importance of R&D spillovers in the country has not been systematically analyzed. The paper employs a cross-sectional dataset of 264
R&D-performing Swedish firms from 1996-97.
