Dans ce volet de nos recherches sur l'évaluation des clusters, nous comparons quatre cas européens d'évaluation de clusters : Wallonie, Allemagne, Basse-Autriche et France. Nous développons d'abord une grille de lecture avec laquelle nous analysons ensuite ces différentes évaluations....

In attempting to protect their innovations, firms can choose from a range of mechanisms, which may be either non-statutory (trade secrets, design complexity, and lead-time advantage over competitors) or statutory (patent, design registration, trademark, copyright). Yet, little is known about how...

The literature on R&D collaboration highlights a broad set of rationales for allying with other organizations. At the same time, it has been reported that there exists a large variety of forms of collaboration. Nevertheless, the relation between the motives to collaborate and the different forms...

Human capital is considered as one of the main inputs in economic growth. Human capital can generate endogenous growth thanks to a continuous process of knowledge and externalities accumulation (Aghion and Howitt, 1998). In that context, this paper explores the relationship between innovation...

La littérature en gestion et en économie s’est intéressée aux raisons des coopérations interentreprises puis plus récemment, des relations science-industrie. La recherche publique n’a pas fait l’objet d’étude à ce sujet. L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier si les...

The objective of this article is to examine the diffusion of spillovers within technological cooperation. More precisely, we shall ask to what extent permanent geographic proximity, defined, as co-location by the geography of innovation, is really necessary to benefit from spillovers when agents...

L'objet de cet article est l'analyse, dans le contexte législatif actuel, des conséquences possibles, sur le système français de recherche, de la création de l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche. L’ANR a été mise en place dans une logique de réforme du système. Dans ce cadre-là, que...

The aim of this paper is to test, thanks to knowledge production function, the spatial dimension of spillovers inside public networks. Spillovers from public research are seen as less submitted to spatial constraint than private spillovers. This paper studies if geographic proximity is a...
