Complementary Patents and Market Structure

Schmidt, Klaus M. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008

Many high technology goods are based on standards that require access to several patents that are owned by different IP holders. We investigate the royalties chosen by IP holders under different market structures. Vertical integration of an IP holder and a downstream producer solves the double...

Harnessing Success: Determinants of University Technology Licensing Performance

Belenzon, Sharon; Schankerman, Mark - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We study the impact of incentive pay, local development objectives and government constraints on university licensing … performance. We develop and test a simple contracting model of technology licensing offices, using new survey information together … pay than public ones, but ownership does not affect licensing performance conditional on the use of incentive pay …

Regional Policy Design: An Analysis of Relocation, Efficiency and Equity

Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004

Despite substantial regional expenditures at both national and community level, European regional policies do not appear to deliver. The evidence suggests that neither efficiency gains nor reduced regional inequalities are attained. If there is any positive impact at all, then it is at the most...

Is Distance Dying at Last? Falling Home Bias in Fixed Effects Models of Patent Citations

Griffith, Rachel; Lee, Sokbae; Van Reenen, John - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

We examine the 'home bias' of international knowledge spillovers as measured by the speed of patent citations (i.e. knowledge spreads slowly over international boundaries). We present the first compelling econometric evidence that the geographical localization of knowledge spillovers has fallen...

Do inventors talk to strangers? On proximity and collaborative knowledge creation

Crescenzi, Riccardo; Nathan, Max; Rodriguez-Pose, Andres - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

This paper investigates how physical, organisational, institutional, cognitive, social, and ethnic proximities between inventors shape their collaboration decisions. Using a new panel of UK inventors and a novel identification strategy, this paper systematically explores the net effects of all...

Spreading the Word: Geography, Policy and University Knowledge Diffusion

Belenzon, Sharon; Schankerman, Mark - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010

Using new data on citations to university patents and scientific publications, and measures of distance based on Google maps, we study how geography affects university knowledge diffusion. We show that knowledge flows from patents are localized in two respects: they decline sharply with distance...

R&D, Socio-Economic Conditions and Regional Innovation in the United States

Crescenzi, Riccardo; Rodriguez-Pose, Andres - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

This paper looks at the genesis of innovation in the United States from a territorial perspective. The analysis aims to disentangle the impact of local R&D expenditure from other contextual conditions supportive of the process of innovation. Particular emphasis is devoted to the role of...

The Territorial Dynamics Of Innovation In China And India

Crescenzi, Riccardo; Rodriguez-Pose, Andres; Storper, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

This paper analyses the geography of innovation in China and India. Using a tailor-made panel database for regions in these two countries, we show that both countries exhibit increasingly strong polarisation of innovative capacity in a limited number of urban areas. But the factors behind this...

Labour Pooling in R&D Intensive Industries

Gerlach, Heiko A.; Rønde, Thomas; Stahl, Konrad - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

We investigate firms' incentives to locate in the same region to gain access to a large pool of skilled labour. Firms engage in risky R&D activities and thus create stochastic product and implied labour demand. Agglomeration in a cluster is more likely in situations where the innovation step is...
