Abstract | "I consider a model in which firms produce new knowledge by building labs and hiring researchers in a competitive market. I show that, for given distribution of labs, the allocation of researchers to firms may be efficient or inefficient depending on how fast the firms' marginal return on the knowledge produced decreases with the amount of knowledge produced. I then argue that the allocation of researchers to labs is likely to be inefficient if firms invest in R&D primarily to increase their absorptive capacity, that is, their ability to use the stock of publicly available knowledge. When the distribution of labs is endogenous, a second source of inefficiency arises: firms' underinvestment in labs. Policies subsidizing the investment in labs are ineffective at restoring the first best, unless policies aimed at reallocating researchers to firms are also put in place."
