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

Global and domestic utilization of industrial relevant science: patent citation analysis of science–technology interactions and knowledge flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study dealing with citations to Dutch-authored research papers on USPTO patents granted during the period 1987-1996 is presented. And the citation analysis reveals several important features of contributions made by the Dutch science base to Dutch invented and/or foreign-invented patents such as a marked overall increase of patent citations, and significant differences between domestic and foreign citation patterns where (3) domestic citation links are dominated by author/inventor self-citations and patents originating from the large R&Dintensive multinational firms such as Philips.

The governance and performance of universities: evidence from Europe and the US
TL;DR: The authors found that an exogenous increase in a university's expenditure generates more output, measured by either patents or publications, if the university is more autonomous and faces more competition, and that universities generate more output for a given expenditure when research competitions are high stakes.

Regional systems of entrepreneurship: the nexus of human capital, knowledge and new firm formation
TL;DR: In this article, a three-phase structural model for regional systems of entrepreneurship was developed and tested based on the absorptive capacity theory of knowledge spillover entrepreneurship that identifies new knowledge as one source of entrepreneurial opportunities and human capital as the major source of expertise.

TL;DR: Aghion et al. as mentioned in this paper found that an exogenous increase in a university's expenditure generates more output, measured by either patents or publications, if the university is more autonomous and faces more competition.

Cultural diversity and entrepreneurship: a regional analysis for Germany
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the determinants of entrepreneurial activity in a cross section of German regions for the period 1998-2005 and found that regions with a high level of knowledge and cultural diversity provide more opportunities for entrepreneurship than other regions.

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.
