We examine the relationship between firms' markups and the economic value of their innovation, including both the private value captured by the innovating firm and the knowledge spillovers that benefit other firms. Using a sample of over 14,500 EU firms and 2,400 US firms granted patents between 2005 and 2014, we find that innovation by high-markup firms is more valuable privately and also creates more external value. These associations are robust to controlling for the stock of past innovation and to estimating innovation value in various ways.
期刊介绍:
The IJIO is an international venture that aims at full coverage of theoretical and empirical questions in industrial organization. This includes classic questions of strategic behavior and market structure. The journal also seeks to publish articles dealing with technological change, internal organization of firms, regulation, antitrust and productivity analysis. We recognize the need to allow for diversity of perspectives and research styles in industrial organization and we encourage submissions in theoretical work, empirical work, and case studies. The journal will also occasionally publish symposia on topical issues.
