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

State-Level Determinants of Entrepreneurship and a Preliminary Measure of Entrepreneurial Climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate independent effects of financial and human entrepreneurial capital and ideas on entrepreneurial activity in the 50 states and rank each state in terms of predicted and actual entrepreneurial activity scores and propose a preliminary measure of the entrepreneurial "climate" of each state.

Knowledge diffusion and innovation policies within the European regions: Challenges based on recent empirical evidence
Corinne Autant-Bernard,Corinne Autant-Bernard,Corinne Autant-Bernard,Muriel Fadairo,Muriel Fadairo,Muriel Fadairo,Nadine Massard,Nadine Massard,Nadine Massard +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors build upon empirical results concerning localised knowledge spillovers to highlight some policy implications within European regions and argue that original strategies must be generated to cope with the various dilemmas faced by regional innovation policies.

From Which Source Do Small Firms Derive Their Innovative Inputs? Some Evidence from Italian Industry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors rely upon the hypothesis that the knowledge production function is characterized by coefficient estimates which vary with firm size, and they support their hypothesis that firms belonging to different size classes resort to different sources for the knowledge relevant to their innovative output.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical R&D Spillovers, Cooperation, Market Structure, and Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, four types of R&D cooperation are studied: no cooperation, horizontal cooperation, vertical cooperation, and simultaneous horizontal and vertical cooperation in two vertically related industries, with horizontal spillovers within each industry and vertical spillovers between the two industries.

The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers
Andrea Caragliu,Peter Nijkamp +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: absorptive capacity and spatial knowledge spillovers (KSs), and test the hypothesis that insufficient levels of cognitive capital hamper the capability of regions to fully exploit new knowledge, both locally produced and originating from outside.

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.
