We analyse the determinants of network formation in German's biotechnology sector combining elements from social network analysis (SNA) and a regression framework for count data. For the latter we adopt a regional innovation system perspective, we estimate the number of total and interregional...

In this paper, we evaluate the R&D enhancing effects of two large public grant schemes aiming at encouraging the performance of firms organized in clusters. These are Germany’s well known BioRegio and BioProfile contests for which we compare the research performance of winning regions in...

We analyse the effect of public Research and Development (R&D) subsidies on private sector innovativeness for a cross-section of East German firms applying different matching estimations, which are primary based on an estimate of a propensity score. To do so, we use a until now unexplored...
