Innovation is a central driver of economic growth in the United
States. Workers become more productive when they can make use of
improved equipment and processes, and consumers benefit when new
goods and services become available or when existing ones become
better or cheaper although the transition can be disruptive to
established firms and workers as new products and processes
supersede old ones. Looking ahead, innovation will continue to be
important for economic growth, in part because the supply of
workers to the economy is expected to increase at a much slower
rate in the future. The federal government influences innovation
through two broad channels: spending and tax policies, and the
legal and regulatory systems. In this book, the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) examines the effects on innovation of existing
policies and systems and the possible effects of a variety of
proposals for changing those policies and systems. This book also
discusses the current status of the research tax credit; the role
of trade secrets in innovation policy; and the patent system for
specific industries.
