The purpose of this paper is to propose a composite innovation indicator derived from an econometric prediction of the … likelihood of innovating and of the amount of innovation performed by a particular firm, given information on its characteristics … the Community Innovation Surveys. It combines qualitative and quantitative data. It allows the comparison of …

This paper compares pairwise the innovation performance of Canada with France and Germany, respectively. The comparison … is based on two ordered probit models with sample selection, one where innovation is measured by the introduction of new … size, environment conditions (proximity to basic research and competition) and innovation activities (internal R&D, the …

This Paper develops a framework for testing discrete complementarities in innovation policy using European data on … obstacles to innovation. We propose a discrete test of supermodularity in innovation policy leading to a number of inequality … constraints. We apply our test to two types of innovation decisions: to innovate or not, and if so, by how much. We find that …

This paper studies the dynamic relationship between input and output of innovation in Dutch manufacturing using an … unbalanced panel of enterprise data from five waves of the Community Innovation Survey during 1994-2004. We estimate by maximum … persistence of innovation input and innovation output, a lag effect of the former on the latter and a feedback effect of the …

This paper studies the persistence of innovation and the dynamics of innovation output in Dutch manufacturing using … firm data from three waves of the Community Innovation Surveys (CIS), pertaining to the periods 1994-1996, 1996-1998, and …

This paper introduces dynamics in the R&D to innovation and innovation to productivity relationships, which have mostly … individual effects and idiosyncratic errors correlated across equations and that differ in the way innovation enters the … Community Innovation Survey. The results provide evidence of robust unidirectional causality from innovation to productivity and …

, Technology and Innovation Programs (STIP). The paper addresses the specific challenges of evaluating STIP, from the assessment of …

There is growing evidence that firms increasingly adopt open innovation practices. In this paper we investigate the … impact of two such external knowledge acquisition strategies, ‘buy’ and ‘cooperate’, on firm’s product innovation performance … while both ‘buy’ and ‘cooperate’ have a positive effect on innovation, there is little statistical evidence that using them …
