Innovation, Reallocation and Economy Growth

Dear Colleagues,

Innovation is the engine of endogenous economic growth. Despite the well-recognized importance of innovation, its causes and consequences are not necessarily well understood. This Special Issue invites papers on theoretical and empirical research on the causes and consequences of innovation. We welcome research that explores practical methods of innovation, rather than merely assuming innovation (R&D) functions, which might include (but is not limited to) the following topics:

• The mechanism of innovation at the firm, industry, or economic levels;
• The consequences of innovation for economic growth, structural change, or economic development;
• Inter-sectoral effects of innovation;
• Effective policy facilitating innovation;
• The effects of digital economies on innovation;
• The effects of monetary and fiscal policies on innovation.
