However, that line of research has yet to identify any particular set of institutions or policies that explain variation in national innovation rates across cases or over time. This article offers new evidence that the problem with domestic institutions\u0026rsquo; approaches stems from their failure to consider international security factors. Specifically, this article finds a positive effect for U.S. security alliances on innovation. This finding is robust across different specifications and periods of analysis. While countries that ally militarily with the United States are found to realize benefits in economy-wide, indigenous innovation, such an effect is\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Enot\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;observed in military technologies. This suggests that alliances may substitute for being on the frontier in military technologies. The article contributes to debates over science and technology competitiveness and \u0026nbsp;alliance formation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about Dr. Taylor\u0026rsquo;s research interests in science and technology policy, comparative democratic institutions, the presidency, and the politics of economic growth\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/inta.gatech.edu\/people\/person\/1b33c78d-701e-50fb-ae00-8105150ced47\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about John Schmid\u0026rsquo;s research interests and recent publications\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/inta.gatech.edu\/people\/person\/90f5997b-117c-5334-9773-9b78bebb00d7\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Mark Zachary, associate professor Taylor and Jon Schmid, Ph.D. Candidate at the Nunn School co-author piece entitled \u201cInnovation and Alliances\u201d"}],"uid":"34435","created_gmt":"2017-05-08 18:30:29","changed_gmt":"2017-05-24 20:53:43","author":"jpalacios9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2017-05-08T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2017-05-08T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"591507":{"id":"591507","type":"image","title":"Taylor \u0026 Schmidt","body":null,"created":"1494266237","gmt_created":"2017-05-08 17:57:17","changed":"1494266237","gmt_changed":"2017-05-08 17:57:17","alt":"","file":{"fid":"225426","name":"Taylor \u0026 Schmid@2x.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Taylor%20%26%20Schmid%402x.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Taylor%20%26%20Schmid%402x.png","mime":"image\/png","size":387528,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Taylor%20%26%20Schmid%402x.png?itok=utQ9FTCX"}}},"media_ids":["591507"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"},{"id":"1286","name":"Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP)"}],"categories":[{"id":"151","name":"Policy, Social Sciences, and Liberal Arts"}],"keywords":[{"id":"137281","name":"Military Technology"},{"id":"3763","name":"international security"},{"id":"169209","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts; Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJessica Palacios\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404.385.8566\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Ejessica.palacios@inta.gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jessica.palacios@inta.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
