This paper analyzes the impact of technological diversity on innovation inputs and success using Swiss firm-level panel … applications as suggested by the literature. However, since patent applications reflect an intermediate innovation input rather …

Recent studies in the tradition of Schmookler have re-emphasised the potential role of demand in stimulating innovation …. Here, we reconsider the role of "home" and "export" market demand in stimulating manufacturing innovation using comparable … innovation production functions using panel data estimators over the sample period 1994 to 2005. For a range of innovation …
