The power of individual-level drivers of inventive performance
Zwick, Thomas; Frosch, Katharina; Hoisl, Karin; … - 2015
Based on an established theoretical framework of the drivers of inventive performance, the so-called KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other) factors, this paper seeks to explain empirically the performance of inventors throughout their careers. We combine survey information spanning the...

Individual versus institutional ownership of university-discovered inventions
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Doherr, Thorsten; Hussinger, Katrin; … - 2015
We examine how the ownership of intellectual property rights influences patenting of university-discovered inventions. In 2002, Germany transferred patent rights from faculty members to their universities. To identify the effect on the volume of patenting, we exploit the researcher-level...

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...
