The power of individual-level drivers of inventive performance
Zwick, Thomas; Frosch, Katharina; Hoisl, Karin; … - 2015
Based on an established theoretical framework of the drivers of inventive performance, the so-called KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other) factors, this paper seeks to explain empirically the performance of inventors throughout their careers. We combine survey information spanning the...

The knowledge production of 'R' and 'D'
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Kraft, Kornelius (contributor) - 2008
Many studies investigate the relationship between R&D expenditures as an input and patents as an intermediate product or output of a knowledge production function. We suggest that the productivity of research in patent production functions has been underestimated in the literature, as scholars...

Do spillovers stimulate incremental or drastic product innovations? : Hypotheses and evidence from German establishment data
Jirjahn, Uwe (contributor); Kraft, Kornelius (contributor) - 2006
We estimate the determinants of various types of product innovation. Knowledge spillovers from rivals have a positive … exert no such independent influence on drastic innovation activities. The results support the hypothesis that establishments …

Measuring knowledge spillovers in manufacturing and services : an empirical assessment of alternative approaches
Kaiser, Ulrich - 1999
knowledge spillovers are unmeasurable, a 'goodness of fit' measure is constructed using innovation survey data. It turns out … measures constructed from innovation survey data appear to work reasonably well while measures of the Euclidean technological …

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...

An empirical test of the asymmetric models on innovative activity : who invests more into R&D - the incumbent or the challenger?
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Kraft, Kornelius - 2000
The theoretical discussion concerning the question whether the incumbent or the (potential) entrant invests more into R&D has attracted considerable interest. This paper reports the results of an empirical study on this question using data of about 3500 German firms over the years 1992 to 1995....
