Commercializing knowledge involves transfer from discovering scientists to those who will develop it commercially. New … opportunities if high. Hence new knowledge remains naturally excludable and appropriable. Team production allows more knowledge … capture of tacit, complex discoveries by firm scientists. A robust indicator of a firm's tacit knowledge capture (and strong …

university scientists in which valuable tacit knowledge is transferred in both directions. We provide suggestive evidence that …-tech firms have adopted a strategy of operating near the edge of the scientific envelope where high levels of tacit knowledge …

consider the effects of sourcing, RJVs, and the firm's internal research on innovation, as defined by patents and new products …. Our results are that sourcing has little effect on innovation, but that RJVs and internal research increase innovation …. This suggests specialization: cost saving is the primary motivation for sourcing, while innovation is the primary …

We study the relationships between corporate R&D and three components of public science: knowledge, human capital, and … established firms, which account for more than three-quarters of business R&D, is affected by scientific knowledge produced by … innovation in firms. However, inventions from universities and public research institutes substitute for corporate inventions and …

How large are spatial barriers to transferring knowledge? We analyze the international operations of multinational … firms to answer this fundamental question. In our model firms can transfer bits of knowledge to their foreign affiliates in … either embodied (traded intermediates) or disembodied form (direct communication). Knowledge transfer costs interact with the …

The rate of regional growth of new knowledge in the field of nanotechnology, as measured by counts of articles and … stocks of recorded knowledge in all scientific fields, and the extent to which tacit knowledge in all fields flows between … patenting. The data provide further support for the cumulative advantage model of knowledge production, and for ongoing efforts …

An inventor's own knowledge is a key input in the innovation process. This knowledge can be built by interacting with … of our new innovation-led endogenous growth model, in which innovations are produced by heterogeneous research teams of … inventors using inventor knowledge. The evolution of an inventor's knowledge is explained through the lens of a diffusion model …
