Shirking, Sharing Risk, and Shelving : The Role of University License Contracts
Thursby, Marie C.; Thursby, Jerry G.; Dechenaux, Emmanuel - 2021
In this paper, we develop a theoretical model of university licensing to explain why university license contracts often include payment types that differ from the fixed fees and royalties typically examined by economists. Our findings suggest that milestone payments and annual payments are...

Inventor Moral Hazard in University Licensing : The Role of Contracts

Measuring Changes in the Bilateral Technology Gaps between China, India and the U.S. 1979 - 2008
Shen, Keting - 2015
Popular literature suggests a rapid narrowing of the technology gap between China and the U.S. based on large … (especially in sciences) in China in recent years. Little literature attempts to measure the technology gap directly using … the later reflect both differing factor endowments and technology parameters. This paper assesses changes in China …

The Structure and Performance of U.S. Research Joint Ventures : Inferences and Implications from the Advanced Technology Program
Link, Albert - 2017
Research Joint Ventures (RJVs) are projects that combine the research resources of different firms. A sample of RJVs supported by the U.S. Advanced Technology Program shows that the projects yield revenues that are far less than costs. Related to this point, the RJVs are subject to...

Multinational Enterprises, International Trade, and Productivity Growth : Firm-Level Evidence from the United States
Keller, Wolfgang; Yeaple, Stephen R. - 2021
We estimate international technology spillovers to U.S. manufacturing firms via imports and foreign direct investment (FDI) between the years of 1987 and 1996. In contrast to earlier work, our results suggest that FDI leads to significant productivity gains for domestic firms. The size of FDI...
