Do firms benefit from university research? Evidence from Italy

Cardamone, Paola; Pupo, Valeria; Ricotta, Fernanda - 2014

The aim of this paper is to assess the effect on firm total factor productivity of the university research. Since the … size may influence this relationship. Results show that university R&D does not seem to affect Italian firm productivity …

R&D, spatial proximity and productivity at firm level: evidence from Italy

Cardamone, Paola - 2014

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of research and development (R&D) on productivity by taking into … account productivity spillovers. To this end, by using a sample of Italian manufacturing firms provided by the Xth UniCredit …-Capitalia survey (2008), which covers the period 2004-2006, we have analyzed the role of R&D in firm productivity by using a spatial …

Technical efficiency and inefficiency: Reassurance of standard SFA models and a misspecification problem

Kumbhakar, Subal C.; Peresetsky, Anatoly; Shchetynin, … - 2020

This paper formally proves that if inefficiency ($u$) is modelled through the variance of $u$ which is a function of $z$ then marginal effects of $z$ on technical inefficiency ($TI$) and technical efficiency ($TE$) have opposite signs. This is true in the typical setup with normally distributed...

Production Analysis with Asymmetric Noise

Badunenko, Oleg; Henderson, Daniel J. - 2021

Symmetric noise is the prevailing assumption in production analysis, but it is often violated in practice. Not only does asymmetric noise cause least-squares models to be inefficient, it can hide important features of the data which may be useful to the firm/policymaker. Here we outline how to...

The effects of public supports on business R&D: firm-level evidence across EU countries

Aristei, David; Sterlacchini, Alessandro; Venturini, … - 2015

Using homogenous firm-level data for the largest Member States of the EU over the period 2007-2009, we test whether manufacturing firms receiving R&D public supports (subsidies and/or tax incentives) spent more on R&D. The analysis is performed by means of both non-parametric (Propensity Score...

Quantile regression for Panel data: An empirical approach for knowledge spillovers endogeneity

Aldieri, Luigi; Vinci, Concetto Paolo - 2017

The aim of this paper is to investigate the extent to which knowledge spillovers effects are sensitive to different levels of innovation. We develop a theoretical model in which the core of spillover effect is showed and then we implement the empirical model to test for the results. In...

Transfert de technologie sur une ville circulaire

Bouguezzi, Fehmi - 2010

This paper compares three licensing regimes in a symmetric duopoly model situated on a circular city à la Salop. One of the firms holds a patent allowing to reduce the marginal production cost and decides to license its innovation under a fixed fee or a royalty regimes or not to license. The...

Transfert de technologie dans une ville carrée à deux dimensions avec cout de transport quadratique

Bouguezzi, Fehmi - 2010

This paper studies and compares licensing regimes of a cost reducing innovation in a two dimensional square city where consumers are located in the interior of the square city and pay a quadratic transport cost when moving to one of the competing firms. The difference between results in this...

Regional heterogeneity and firms’ innovation: the role of regional factors in industrial R&D in India

Pradhan, Jaya Prakash - 2011

This study makes an early attempt to estimate the magnitude and intensity of manufacturing firms’ R&D by Indian states during the period 1991‒2008 and analyses the role of regional factors on firm-level R&D activities. As there is little research on state-wise R&D performance of firms in...
