Patents as quality signals? The implications for financing constraints on R&D
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hall, Bronwyn H.; Hottenrott, Hanna - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
Information about the success of a new technology is usually held asymmetrically between the research and development (R&D)-performing firm and potential lenders and investors. This raises the cost of capital for financing R&D externally, resulting in financing constraints on R&D especially for...

Collaborative R&D as a strategy to attenuate financing constraints
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hottenrott, Hanna - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012
The ability of firms to establish R&D collaborations that combine resources, exploit complementary know-how, and internalize R&D externalities has been shown to be of high importance for the successful creation and implementation of new knowledge. We argue in this article that collaborative R&D...

Industrial research versus development investment: the implications of financial constraints
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hottenrott, Hanna; Thorwarth, Susanne - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009
Previous literature provided evidence on financing constraints for investment in R&D activities due to capital market imperfections and special features of R&D investments. Moreover, it has been shown that a shift in capital structure towards more debt, results in a reduction of R&D investments....

Sources of spillovers for imitation and innovation
Cappelli, Riccardo; Czarnitzki, Dirk; Kraft, Kornelius - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We estimate the effect of R&D spillovers on sales realized by products new to the firm (imitation) and new to the … market (innovation). It turns out that spillovers from rivals lead to more imitation, while inputs from customers and …

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
We estimate the determinants of various types of product innovation. Knowledge spillovers from rivals have a positive … impact on incremental innovations. This impact is largely independent of the participation in R&D cooperations. Spillovers … face difficulties in using knowledge that comes from areas they are not familiar with. Establishments exploit spillovers …

R&D cooperation and R&D intensity: theory and micro-econometric evidence for german manufacturing industries
Kaiser, Ulrich; Licht, Georg - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 1998
This paper develops a three stage oligopoly game for R&D cooperation, R&D expenditure and product market competition …. In the first stage, firms decide whether or not to conduct R&D in cooperation with other firms. In the second stage the … R&D cooperation only considered process innovation, the model presented here also takes product innovation into account …
