Exports versus FDI in German Manufacturing: Firm Performance and Participation in International Markets

Arnold, Jens Matthias; Hussinger, Katrin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2005

This paper tests some of the predictions of recent advances in trade theory that have focused on different trade patterns of firms within the same sector. Helpman, Melitz and Yeaple (2005) develop a model in which innate productivity differences between firms determine the degree of...

Searching for innovation in market and transition economies: evidence across Europe

Sofka, Wolfgang; Grimpe, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009

Searching for externally available knowledge has been characterized as a vital part of the innovation process. The availability of such innovation impulses, however, critically depends on the environment a firm is operating in. Little is known on how institutional infrastructures for innovation...

Selectivity in search strategies for innovation: from incremental to radical, from manufacturing to services

Köhler, Christian; Sofka, Wolfgang; Grimpe, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009

The shift towards more open and interconnected innovation activities has been a major topic of recent academic and practitioner discussions. Firms have to connect their in-house R&D activities with external partners, such as leading customers or universities, to increase the effectiveness of...

Do Spillovers Stimulate Incremental or Drastic Product Innovations? Hypotheses and Evidence from German Establishment Data

Jirjahn, Uwe; Kraft, Kornelius - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2006

impact on incremental innovations. This impact is largely independent of the participation in R&D cooperations. Spillovers … for incremental innovations rather than for drastic innovations. To a limited degree R&D cooperations can help to overcome … the difficulties in using spillovers for drastic innovations. Furthermore, our estimates provide evidence that a firm …

The link between firm-level innovation and aggregate productivity growth: a cross-country examination

Heshmati, Almas; Lööf, Hans - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2003

This paper investigates whether failure in innovation at the firm level can account for cross-country heterogeneity in manufacturing productivity growth. There is no strong evidence in the literature on the existence of such link. Our work, however, differs in a number of ways from much of the...

Managing Search Strategies for Open Innovation: The Role of Environmental Munificence as well as Internal and External R&D

Sofka, Wolfgang; Grimpe, Christoph - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

Firms compete increasingly in an open innovation environment. Search strategies for external knowledge become therefore crucial for firm success. Existing research differentiates between the breadth (diversity) and depth (intensity) with which firms pursue external knowledge source. A consensus...
