NEW PUBLICATION: It was a really nice experience to explore the links between innovation and macroeconomics. We find that R&D intensity is stationary in the G7 countries when we consider structural breaks with smooth functions, with the notable exception of the U.S. Thus, we do not reject the Schumpeterian growth theory. Our policy recommendation would be to invest in knowledge to sustain productivity growth.
