TLDR

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

Scientists' Participation in University Research Centers: What are the Gender Differences?
TL;DR: This article found that women are younger, whiter, less likely to be tenured, and at a lower rank than their male colleagues, while men are more likely to join centers as men and do so at a similar stage in their career.

A Multilevel Approach to Geography of Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how research on geography of innovation can benefit from multilevel modelling and demonstrate that the quality of the regional innovation system directly influences the likelihood of a firm to innovate and that this effect decreases with the size of the firm.

The Localization of Entrepreneurship Capital - Evidence from Germany
David B. Audretsch,Max Keilbach +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a region's capacity to create new firms start-ups as the region's entrepreneurship capital and investigate the local embeddedness of this variable and which variables have an impact on this variable.

Innovation and the competitiveness of industries: comparing the mainstream and the evolutionary approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that, at a deeper level of analysis, the mainstream and evolutionary views do indeed differ with respect to their theoretical foundations, empirical research and policy implications, and that institutional arrangements and policy interventions do indeed play a fundamental role for shaping innovation patterns and their impacts on the competitiveness of industries.

Was bewirkt die Volkswirtschaftslehre
TL;DR: The authors surveyed and compared approaches of impact measurement such as a production function of economics or the demand and supply of trained economists, and furthermore discriminates between the impact of economic ideas versus that of economists as scientists or politicians.

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.
