In view of the sizeable climate change challenge, we need a clean innovation machine operating at full speed. Beyond the supply of public clean R&D infrastructure and clean public purchases, the development and adoption of new clean technologies by the private sector needs to be assured to...

This paper is the first to study the effect of European Anti-dumping policy on market structure, i.e., the incentives of firms to engage in a domestic or international cartel in a multi-stage setting. The analysis concentrates on how European anti-dumping policy influences the incentives for...

In this paper we carefully link knowledge flows to and from a firm's innovation process with this firm's investment decisions. Three types of investments are considered: investments in applied research, investments in basic research, and investments in intellectual property protection. Only when...

While the impact of M&A on R&D and innovation examined at the aggregate level left inconclusive evidence, we find that at the level of the R&D process both the technological and the market relatedness between the target and the acquirer are helpful dimensions to identify effects. Using...

Many world regions, including Europe, have the perception that their best students and researchers leave to study and work in the United States. This phenomenon has been coined ‘the elite brain drain.' With a sample of European students who obtain a PhD in economics in the US, we study whether...

Using a sample of 998 European-born researchers who obtained their PhD in Europe, we study the differences in personal characteristics, motivations and perceived external influencing factors between researchers who are internationally mobile within Europe or internationally mobile to North...

In view of the sizeable climate change challenge, we need a clean innovation machine operating at full speed. The private clean innovation machine, left on its own, is not up for this challenge. It needs government intervention to address the combination of environmental and knowledge...

In the context of the Bologna process, we are interested in assessing whether the uality of a country's higher education system drives macro-flows of foreign tertiary students in Europe. We use various measures on the quality of a country's higher education system in an extended gravity model....

The literature on within-firm organizational change and productivity suggests that firms can make more efficient use of certain technologies if complementary forms of organization are adopted. This issue may be of even greater importance for the case of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement...
