Green innovations and organizational change: Making better use of environmental technology

Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha; Veugelers, Reinhilde - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012

The literature on within-firm organizational change and productivity suggests that firms can make more efficient use of certain technologies if complementary forms of organization are adopted. This issue may be of even greater importance for the case of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement...

Allocation of human capital and innovation at the frontier: Firm-level evidence on Germany and the Netherlands

Bartelsmann, Eric; Dobbelaere, Sabien; Peters, Bettina - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014

This paper examines how productivity effects of human capital and innovation vary at different points of the …-skilled employees and industries in Germany by a more unequal distribution of human capital intensity. In Germany, average innovation … performance is higher in all industries, except for low-technology manufacturing, and in the Netherlands the innovation …

The link between firm-level innovation and aggregate productivity growth: a cross-country examination

Heshmati, Almas; Lööf, Hans - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2003

This paper investigates whether failure in innovation at the firm level can account for cross-country heterogeneity in …, differs in a number of ways from much of the previous cross-country comparisons on the relationship between innovation and … productivity using firm-level data. First, a broader definition of innovation input is used in which research and development is …

Commercializing Academic Research: The Quality of Faculty Patenting

Schneider, Cédric; Hussinger, Katrin; Czarnitzki, Dirk - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2008

The knowledge produced by academic scientists has been identified as a potential key driver of technological progress. Recent policies in Europe aim at increasing commercially orientated activities in academe. Based on a sample of German scientists across all fields of science we investigate the...

Heterogeneity of Patenting Activity and Its Implications for Scientific Research

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Glänzel, Wolfgang; Hussinger, Katrin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2007

The increasing commercialization of university discoveries has initiated a controversy on the impacts for future scientific research. It has been argued that an increasing orientation towards commercialization may have a negative impact on more fundamental research efforts in science. Several...

Why challenge the ivory tower? New evidence on the basicness of academic patents

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hussinger, Katrin; Schneider, Cédric - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009

While often presumed in academic literature and policy discussions there is little empirical evidence showing that academic patents protect more basic inventions than corporate patents. This study provides new evidence on the basicness of academic patents using German professor patents linked to...

The nexus between science and industry: evidence from faculty inventions

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hussinger, Katrin; Schneider, Cédric - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 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...

An empirical assessment of co-activity among German professors

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Glänzel, Wolfgang; Hussinger, Katrin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2006

The growing importance of technology relevant non-publication output of university research has come into the focus of policy-makers? interest. A fierce debate arose on possible negative consequences of the increasing commercialization of science, as it may come along with a reduction in...

China's R&D explosion: Analyzing productivity effects across ownership types and over time

Boeing, Philipp; Mueller, Elisabeth; Sandner, Philipp - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2015

In the past years Chinese firms increased their spending on R&D substantially and worked on achieving a higher quality level of R&D. We analyze whether different R&D activities show a positive influence on total factor productivity (TFP) for firms of different ownership types and across two time...
