TLDR
In this article, the existence of geographically mediated "spillovers" from university research to commercial innovation is explored using state-level time-series data on corporate patents, corporate R&D, and university research.Abstract:
The existence of geographically mediated "spillovers" from university research to commercial innovation is explored using state-level time-series data on corporate patents, corporate R&D, and university research. A significant effect of university research on corporate patents is found, particularly in the areas of drugs and medical technology, and electronics, optics, and nuclear technology. In addition, university research appears to have an indirect effect on local innovation by inducing industrial R&D spending. Copyright 1989 by American Economic Association.read more

Science park or innovation cluster?: Similarities and differences in physical and virtual firms' agglomeration phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the science park (SP) physical location and the innovation cluster (IC) virtual location, and aim at investigating: the motivations driving firms to settle in these two agglomerations; the main problems firms, belonging to the two structures, face in their growth process; similarities and differences between a "physical" and a "virtual" location; which forms of proximity play a role within the SP and the IC.

The Location of Industry RaD and the Location of University RaD : How are They related?
TL;DR: In this paper, strong spatial clustering of RD irrespective of whether it is focused on new products or new processes is observed, and it is well established in the literature that both university and industry R&D have a positive effect on innovation output (often measured by patent applications).

Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Country Development: Accounting for Area Interrelationships
Robert J. Kauffman,Ajay Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: A new approach to measuring the macrolevel impacts of ICTs across a range of development areas is described, applying a simultaneous equation model to data pertaining to four development areas in 64 countries.

A multi-dimensional perspective on social capital and economic development: an exploratory analysis
Soogwan Doh,Connie L. McNeely +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized social capital index (based on measures of trust, associational activities, and civic norms) was employed to test hypotheses suggesting a positive relationship between social capital and economic development, while considering the impact of social capital on entrepreneurship and on human capital as intermediary effects on economic development.

Theoretical Perspectives on Industry Clusters
TL;DR: A review of the major theoretical propositions that seek to explain the clustering of economic activity and its presumed link with regional economic development can be found in this paper, where the authors provide a review of some of the main theoretical perspectives.

Patent Statistics as Economic Indicators: A Survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey on the use of patent data in economic analysis, focusing on the patent data as an indicator of technological change and concluding that patent data remain a unique resource for the study of technical change.

Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D: Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits and Market Value
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that firms' patents, profits and market value are systematically related to the technological position of firms' research programs, and that firms are seen to "move" in technology space in response to the pattern of contemporaneous profits at different positions.

Econometric Models for Count Data with an Application to the Patents-R&D Relationship
TL;DR: This paper developed and adapted statistical models of counts (nonnegative integers) in the context of panel data and used them to analyze the relationship between patents and R&D expenditures. But their model is not suitable for the analysis of large-scale data sets.

Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D: Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits, and Market Value
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of exogenous variations in the state of technology (technological opportunity) and of the R&D of other firms (spillovers of r&D) on the productivity of firms' R&Ds were quantified.
