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 impact on incremental innovations. This impact is largely independent of the participation in R&D cooperations. Spillovers exert no such independent influence on drastic...

Measuring knowledge spillovers in manufacturing and services : an empirical assessment of alternative approaches
Kaiser, Ulrich - 1999
In this paper it is tested which of the various alternative approaches for constructing knowledge spillover pools suggested in existing literature measures the extent to which a firm can costlessly receive external knowlegde best. Since knowledge spillovers are unmeasurable, a 'goodness of fit'...

A simple game-theoretical framework for studying R&D expenditures and R&D cooperation
Kaiser, Ulrich - 2001
This paper derives a three stage Cournot duopoly game for research collaboration, research expenditures and product market competition. The amount of knowledge firms can absorb is made dependent on their own research efforts, e.g. firms' absorptive capacity is treated as an endogenous variable....

Knowledge flows and R&D co-operation : firm-level evidence from Germany
Schmidt, Tobias F. N. (contributor) - 2005
This paper analyzes the determinants of R&D co-operation among German manufacturing firms. Using firm level data from the Third Community Innovation Survey from Germany, we focus on the role of spillovers in explaining R&D cooperation. We also investigate firms' decisions to cooperate with...

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....

Labor pooling in R&D intensive industries
Gerlach, Heiko A. (contributor); Rønde, Thomas (contributor) - 2008
We investigate the interplay between firms' R&D decisions and labor market competition, and how this influences equilibrium location choices and welfare. Firms engage in risky R&D activities and thus create stochastic product and implied labor demand. Spatial agglomeration is more likely in...

The effect of entry on R&D investment of leaders : theory and mpirical evidence
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Etro, Federico (contributor) - 2008
We develop a simple model of competition for the market that shows that, contrary to the Arrow view, endogenous entry threat in a market induces the average firm to invest less in R&D and the incumbent leader to invest more. We test these predictions with a Tobit model based on a unique dataset...
