【 摘 要 】

It is so widely recognized thatinnovation is a key driver of economic growth that it iscliché to say so. This article studies product innovation byfirms with data from 68 countries, covering more than 25,000firms in eight manufacturing sectors. The author assessesthe predictions of inter-disciplinary research on innovationby firms. The econometric evidence suggests thatglobalization and local knowledge increase the likelihoodthat firms will introduce new products. By contrast,domestic regulatory impediments to competition are notrobustly correlated with product innovation.
