No 23/1998: Empirical Patterns of Firm Growth and R&D Investment: a Quality Ladder Model Interpretation.

T.J. Klette and Z. Griliches

Abstract: We present a model of endogenous firm growth with R&D investment and stochastic innovation as the engines of growth. The model for firm growth is a partial equilibrium model drawing on the quality ladder models in the macro growth literature, but also on the literature on patent races and the discrete choice models of product differentiation.
