Conference Paper
Does the location of ideas matter for employment and earnings in the Internet age?
Freeman, Richard B. (2006)
Freeman talked about the development of ideas and their impact on U.S. workers. It used to be the case that the place where new knowledge was created had an advantage in commercializing it. But Freeman argues that modern communications technologies allow new ideas rapid exposure on a world stage, where the ever-growing numbers of technically skilled workers in developing countries stand capable of turning them into profit-making opportunities. Freeman emphasizes the need for policies that foster knowledge creation in areas where the home-field advantage can be maintained. He says that the ...

Are state R&D tax credits constitutional? an economic perspective
Wilson, Daniel J. (2005)
This Economic Letter discusses how the unique economic nature of R&D may bear on the question of the constitutionality of state R&D tax credits. In particular, I discuss the conditions laid out by the U.S. Supreme Court for determining the constitutionality of a state tax credit and how economic research can play a critical role in assessing whether these conditions are met.

Regional research and development intensity and earnings inequality
Ginther, Donna K.; Dadres, Susan (2001-04)
Investment in technology increased rapidly in the United States during the past two decades, leading some to herald the birth of a "new economy." This new economy, marked by rapid productivity growth, rising incomes, low unemployment, and moderate inflation, creates a "rising tide that lifts all boats." However, during the same period U.S. earnings and income inequality increased not only between groups defined by schooling and experience but also within these groups. ; Although many researchers point to technology as the leading explanation for the increase, a cause-effect relationship ...

This article begins with a description of the general structure of state R&D tax credits, and then explains how their true value can be measured, and how the average value as well as the availability of R&D tax credits have evolved over time.

Working Paper
The agglomeration of R&D labs
Carlino, Gerald A.; Smith, Tony E.; Carr, Jake; Hunt, Robert M. (2010)
This paper has been superseded by WP 15-03.<p>The authors document the spatial concentration of more than 1,000 research and development (R&D) labs located in the Northeast corridor of the U.S. using point pattern methods. These methods allow systematic examination of clustering at different spatial scales. In particular, Monte Carlo tests based on Ripley's (1976) K-functions are used to identify clusters of labs ? at varying spatial scales ? that represent statistically significant departures from random locations reflecting the underlying distribution of economic activity (employment). ...
