Open Research Seminar

Andrei Kirilenko, Associate Professor at the Cambridge Judge Business School and a Research Fellow at Centre for Economic Policy Research, will present the research paper Ideas-Driven Endogenous Growth and Standard-Essential Patents, co-authored with (Artem Neklyudov (University of Lausanne and SFI), Albina Neklyudova-Khairullina and Christopher Tucci (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). The authors study the impact of standard-essential patents (SEPs) on the long-term economic growth. With the increasing complexity of information and communication technologies, patents on standards play a growing role. The researchers model how SEPs expand production possibilities of the economy, the effect of productivity-enhancing standards on the endogenous economic growth, and the circumstances under which standards encourage innovation.
