We evaluate the impact of cooperation with public research institutions on firms' inno-vative activities in France and Germany, using data from the fourth Community Innova-tion Survey (CIS4). We propose an original econometric methodology, which explicitly takes into account potential estimation...

The following article systematically analyzes the question of how the results of R&D and its protection - or so to say, the technology base of a firm - can influence its mar-ket value and profits. Based on theoretical arguments it is hypothesized that large and highly valuable patent portfolios...

The existing literature shows that interdepartmental collaboration within companies enhances innovativeness due to easier access to and integration of knowledge spread over dispersed actors. As companies are well aware of these benefits they also use competition between innovation projects to...

In recent years, global technology-based competition has not only intensified, but become increasingly linked to a more comprehensive type of competition between different political and value systems.

How to estimate the economic returns of public science is a longstanding but equally challenging topic in quantitative science studies. In this paper, we exploit the staggered foundation of the SENAI Innovation Institutes (ISI) in Brazil since 2012, to estimate their effects on GDP using a...
