TLDR
In this article, the authors compare four different explanations for cross-institutional variation in new firm formation rates from university technology licensing offices (TLO) over the 1994-1998 period, including the availability of venture capital in the university area, the commercial orientation of university research and development, intellectual eminence, and university policies.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an unusually comprehensive and detailed literature analysis of the stream of research on university entrepreneurship, now encompassing 173 articles published in a variety of academic journals, and inductively derive a framework describing the dynamic process of university entrepreneurship based on a synthesis of the literature.

University–industry linkages in the UK: What are the factors underlying the variety of interactions with industry?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the different channels through which academic researchers interact with industry and the factors that influence the researchers' engagement in a variety of interactions, and argued that by paying greater attention to the broad range of knowledge transfer mechanisms, policy initiatives could contribute to building the researchers skills necessary to integrate the worlds of scientific research and application.

Real Effects of Academic Research
TL;DR: 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.

The Simple Economics of Basic Scientific Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the simple economics of basic research and argue that if we allocate a given quantity of resources to science, this implies that we are not allocating these resources to other activities and, hence, we are depriving ourselves of a flow of future benefits that we could have obtained had none of our resources been directed to basic research.
