The paper focuses on the role of Science Parks (SPs) as seedbeds of innovation. It investigates whether and to what extent locating inside a science park relates to the innovative output of tenant firms. The simple assessment methodology proposed relies on count data models, uses patents as...

Kleine und mittlere Unternehmen greifen zum Schutz von Innovationsergebnissen deutlich seltener auf geistige Eigentumsrechte zurück als größere Unternehmen. Der zurückhaltende Umgang mit Patenten, Urheberrechten oder Handelsmarken lässt sich in vielen Fällen durch den unternehmerischen...

Systemic innovation theory emphasizes that innovations are the result of an interdependent exchange process between different organizations. This is reflected in the current paradigm in European innovation policy, which aims at the support of collaborative R&D and innovation projects bringing...

Information about the success of a new technology is usually held asymmetrically between the research and development (R&D)-performing firm and potential lenders and investors. This raises the cost of capital for financing R&D externally, resulting in financing constraints on R&D especially for...

In the last decades, innovation activity has been defined by an increasing complexity and a faster pace of the underlying technological change. Accordingly, several studies have shown that competitive systems of innovation benefit from being able to build upon a wide but integrated spectrum of...

This paper seeks to understand how motives to patent affect the use of the patent portfolio with a particular focus on motives aimed at the monetization of intellectual property (IP). The analysis relies on data from an international survey conducted by the European Patent Office (EPO). The main...

This paper uses an extensive dataset compiled by the author to quantitatively study the determinants of academic and industry innovations measured by the numbers of journal publications, patents and Nobel Laureates. I use sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of estimates to specification...
