Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic Localization of Knowledge Spillovers as Evidenced by Patent Citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the geographic location of patent citations to those of cited patents, as evidence of the extent to which knowledge spillovers are geographically localized, and find that citations to U.S. patents are more likely to come from the U. S., and more likely than coming from the same state and SMSA as cited patents than one would expect based only on the preexisting concentration of related research activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Competence? Exploring Firm Effects in Pharmaceutical Research
TL;DR: This paper distinguishes between ‘component’ and ‘architectural’ competence, and using internal firm data at the program level from 10 major pharmaceutical companies shows that together the two forms of competence appear to explain a significant fraction of the variance in research productivity across firms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorptive Capacity, Coauthoring Behavior, and the Organization of Research in Drug Discovery
TL;DR: The authors examine the interface between for-profit and publicly funded pharmaceuticals, finding that 'Connectedness' is significantly correlated with firms' internal organization, as well as their performance in drug discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
University Versus Corporate Patents: A Window On The Basicness Of Invention
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify key aspects of innovations, "basicness" and appropriability, and explore the linkages between them using detailed patent data, particularly on patent citations, thus awarding the proposed measures a very wide coverage.
