For those who don’t know, Bell Labs was not really a corporate research lab in the modern sense. It was funded by monopoly profits from AT&T as a sort of public good in return. In fact, patenting INCREASED overall once AT&T was broken up and Bell Labs started its decline.

Why fund highly novel research? It can improve the evolution of knowledge by guiding future researchers. We propose a model in which researchers decide which questions to address and at what intensity to search for the answer based on existing knowledge. https://t.co/vO5xpt63XV
