University Patenting : Estimating the Diminishing Breadth of Knowledge Diffusion and Consumption

Rosell, Carlos - 2012

The rate of university patenting increased dramatically during the 1980s. To what extent did the knowledge flow patterns associated with public sector inventions change as university administrators and faculty seemingly became more commercially oriented? Using a Herfindahl-type measure of patent...

An Exploration of Local R&D Spillovers in France

Mairesse, Jacques - 2010

This paper is an attempt to assess the existence and magnitude of local research spillovers in France. We rely on the model of an extended production function (Cobb-Douglas and Translog) with both local and neighborhood Ramp;D capital stocks. We estimate this model on 312 employment areas as of...

International R&D Spillovers and Institutions

Coe, David T. - 2010

The empirical analysis in quot;International Ramp;D Spilloversquot; (Coe and Helpman, 1995) is first revisited by applying modern panel cointegration estimation techniques to an expanded data set that we have constructed for the purpose of this study. The new estimates confirm the key results...

Does Scientist Immigration Harm Us Science? An Examination of Spillovers

Agrawal, Ajay K. - 2018

The recruitment of foreign scientists enhances US science through an expanded workforce but could also cause harm by displacing better connected domestic scientists, thereby reducing localized knowledge spillovers. We develop a model in which a sufficient condition for the absence of overall...

The Diffusion of Scientific Knowledge Across Time and Space : Evidence from Professional Transitions for the Superstars of Medicine

Azoulay, Pierre - 2015

Are scientific knowledge flows embodied in individuals, or "in the air"? To answer this question, we measure the effect of labor mobility in a sample of 9,483 elite academic life scientists on the citation trajectories associated with individual articles (resp. patents) published (resp. granted)...

Entrepreneurial Spillovers from Corporate R&D

Babina, Tania - 2018

This paper studies how corporate research and development (R&D) investment affects labor mobility. We use employer-employee matched data in ordinary least squares and instrumental variables analyses to assess four hypotheses. R&D has no effect on worker retention, exit from employment, or...
