Objective: The article aims to verify the development of innovation cooperation in the biopharmaceutical (biotech, pharma) industry in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) taking into account the directions of innovation cooperation. I will try to verify the importance of location in innovation...

This research focuses on the behavior of not-for-profit enterprises. In particular, using a familiar model of cost-reducing Ramp;D with spillovers, we examine strategic interactions between labor-managed firms in a duopoly. Research spillovers have not been previously considered in the context...

In a continuous time model with stochastic demand, two firms compete in R&D, with the lead patent affecting the probability of success of a second innovation competing in the same product market; the size and direction of this effect characterize the level of appropriability. From this...

The purpose of this article is to suggest a (preliminary) taxonomy and research agenda for the topic of “firms, crowds, and innovation” and to provide an introduction to the associated special issue. We specifically discuss how various crowd-related phenomena and practices — for example,...

We consider an important class of research and development (R&D) investments in public and private entities that require selection from a large number of proposals such that: (1) the potential monetary value of the proposals is not a first-order factor in the selection; and (2) the investments...

We provide the first measurement of knowledge spillovers from venture capital-financed companies onto the patenting activities of other companies. On average, these spillovers are nine times larger than those generated by the R&D investment of established companies. Spillover effects are larger...

This paper explores the determinants of different channels of knowledge transfer and their inter-linkages with academic and applied research. We use the longitudinal HE-BCI survey data juxtaposed against multiple rounds of research evaluation results in the UK higher education sector to estimate...

This paper examines the impact of tax incentives on corporate research and development (R&D) activity. Traditionally, R&D tax incentives have been provided in the form of special tax allowances and tax credits. In recent years, several countries moreover reduced their income tax rates on R&D...
