Flying the nest : how the home department shapes researchers' career paths

Hottenrott, Hanna; Lawson, Cornelia - 2014

Academic researchers face mobility related decisions throughout their careers. We study the importance of team and organisational characteristics of the home departments for career choices of departing researchers in the fields of science and engineering at higher education institutions in...

Patents as quality signals? : the implications for financing constraints on R&D

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hall, Bronwyn H.; Hottenrott, Hanna - 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...

Innovative Capability and Financing Constraints for Innovation More Money, More Innovation?

Hottenrott, Hanna; Peters, Bettina - 2012

affect investments in innovation projects as such projects are typically characterized by a high degree of uncertainty …, complexity and specificity. Financing innovation externally is thus likely to be more costly compared to financing of other … investment. Hence, internal sources of financing are crucial for the implementation of innovation projects. However, internal …

Flying the nest : how the home department shapes researchers' career paths

Hottenrott, Hanna; Lawson, Cornelia - 2015 - First version July 2014

This paper studies the importance of the socialization environment - nest - for the career destinations of early career researchers. In a sample of research groups in the fields of science and engineering at universities in Germany, we identify research orientation, output, funding as well as...

Fishing for complementarities : competitive research funding and research productivity

Hottenrott, Hanna; Lawson, Cornelia - 2013

This paper empirically investigates complementarities between different sources of research funding with regard to academic publishing. We find for a sample of UK engineering academics that competitive funding is associated with an increase in ex-post publications but that industry funding...

Financial Constraints : Routine Versus Cutting Edge R&D Investment

Hottenrott, Hanna - 2008

We analyze financial constraints for Ramp;D, where we account for heterogeneity among investments which has been neglected in previous literature. According to economic theory, investments should be distinguished by their degree of uncertainty, e.g. routine Ramp;D versus cutting-edge Ramp;D....

R&D Investment and Financing Constraints of Small and Medium-Sized Firms

Hottenrott, Hanna - 2013

This study tests for financial constraints on Ramp;D investment and how they differ from capital investment. To identify constraints in the access to external capital, we employ a credit rating index. Our models show that internal constraints, measured by mark-ups, are more decisive for Ramp;D...
