There are also distributional consequences: direct-to-consumer imports are concentrated among higher-income households, but when retailers start carrying those products, access expands beyond the initial set of importers. 7/N

🚨 New NBER WP 🚨 We study how new product varieties enter markets. When consumers discover and try new products via direct-to-consumer imports, does that information remain confined to those shoppers, or can it spread and ultimately reshape what is available locally? 1/N

While more than half of product innovations originate from non-patenting firms, patent filings are on average followed by subsequent product introductions. This relationship weakens with firm size, from @dargente05, Salomé Baslandze, Douglas Hanley, and @sarapfmoreira nber.org/papers/w34592

Nice write-up on this paper: insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/the-gr… "Just how did companies like IKEA and Starbucks come to grow so much more quickly than their competitors? ...By reusing product parts, knowledge, and relationships across different product lines and locations"
