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...

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...

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'...

Spillover from the haven : cross-border externalities of patent box regimes within multinational firms
Schwab, Thomas; Todtenhaupt, Maximilian - 2016
This paper analyzes externalities of patent box regimes in Europe. Tax reductions in foreign affiliates of a firm that … specific characteristics of patent box regimes, we show that patent box regimes without nexus requirements for tax …-efficient reallocation of patent profits induce positive spillovers within multinational groups. The implementation of a patent box in a …

Quantity or quality? : collaboration strategies in research and development and incentives to patent
Hottenrott, Hanna; Lopes-Bento, Cindy - 2012
patent quantity is driven by knowledge exchange rather than joint R&D. Firms engaged in joint R&D, on the other hand, receive … more forward citations per patent indicating that joint R&D enhances patent quality. In light of literature on strategic …

The nexus between science and industry : evidence from faculty inventions
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hussinger, Katrin; Schneider, Cédric - 2009
Against the background of the so-called "European paradox", i.e. the conjecture that EU countries lack the capability to transfer science into commercial innovations, knowledge transfer from academia to industry has been a central issue in policy debates recently. Based on a sample of German...

Spillovers of innovation activities and their profitability
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Kraft, Kornelius (contributor) - 2007
Knowledge spillovers to competitors are regarded as an important aspect of the innovation process. While a company possibly benefits from incoming information on successful R&D conducted by other companies, a generally high probability of leakage of knowledge in an industry will negatively...

Spillovers in networks of user generated content : pseudo-experimental evidence on Wikipedia
Kummer, Michael E. - 2014
I quantify spillovers of attention in a network of content pages, which is challenging, because such networks form endogenously. I exploit exogenous variation in the article network of German Wikipedia to circumvent this problem. Wikipedia prominently advertises one featured article on its main...
