Innovation can also benefit low-skill workers if they have the right set of soft-skills write Philippe Aghion, Antonin Bergeaud, Richard Blundell and Rachel Griffith.
In this we provide evidence that correlations between incumbent productivity growth and patenting arise from a causal effect predicted by Schumpeterian growth theory.
This paper considers how competition can affect aggregate innovative activity through its effects on firms' decision whether or not to vertically integrate.

How does firm entry affect innovation incentives and productivity growth in incumbent firms? Micro-data suggests that there is heterogeneity across industries - incumbents in technologically advanced industries react positively to entry, but not in laggard industries.
In Competition and Growth, Philippe Aghion and Rachel Griffith offer the first serious attempt to provide a unified and coherent account of the effect competition policy and deregulated entry have on economic growth.
This paper investigates the relationship between product market competition and innovation. We find strong evidence of an inverted-U relationship using panel data.
How does entry affect productivity growth of incumbents? In this paper we exploit policy reforms in the United Kingdom that changed entry conditions by opening up the U.K. economy during the 1980s and panel data on British establishments to shed light on this question.
