The effect of regional resources on innovation: a firm-centered approach
María Jesús Rodríguez-Gulías,David Rodeiro-Pazos,Sara Fernández-López,Manuel Ángel Nogueira-Moreiras +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze whether the regional resources determine firm innovation either in a direct way or by shaping the effect of the firm's internal resources. And they show that the internal factors are the cornerstone of firm innovation, but there is also a "regional effect" in the firms' propensity to innovate.

Endogenous Technological Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock of human capital determines the rate of growth, that too little human capital is devoted to research in equilibrium, that integration into world markets will increase growth rates, and that having a large population is not sufficient to generate growth.
