We propose that firms increase innovation in specialized technology as the frontier moves, but that increasingly specialized learning environments also reshape innovation using general technology by narrowing its market focus. We test these arguments using drug-level clinical trial data from the U.S. biopharmaceutical industry, where small molecules (a legacy general technology) and biologics (a newer specialized technology) often coexist within the same therapeutic indications. We find that w… Subtitle: SPECIALIZED FRONTIER AND LEGACY TECHNOLOGY: EVIDENCE FROM SMALL MOLECULE AND BIOLOGIC INNOVATION.
