Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Drittmitteln für wissenschaftliche Forschung. Insbesondere lassen sich Drittmittel für freie Forschung, zur ergebnisoffenen Themenbearbeitung und für spezifizierte Auftragsforschung unterscheiden. Deren jeweilige Vor- und Nachteile werden diskutiert, auch im...

Das Forschungsvolumen von arbeitnehmernaher Forschung war zwischen 1970 und 2003 zwar konstant, verteilte sich aber auf immer mehr Projekte und mehr Themen. Die Forschungsbedingungen verschlechterten sich: Die Forschungsprojekte waren im Laufe der Zeit mit immer weniger wissenschaftlichem...

We review the evidence on the impact of public R&D spending. We first look at the evidence from micro-analysis of the impact of public intervention on private R&D and innovation, with a focus on the latest results from crosscountry micro-research performed within SIMPATIC (www.simpatic.eu). To...

Walter Dörhage and Raimund Mildner recommend to universities and other academic institutions to orient themselves strategically towards the attraction of third-party funds and commercial gains. However, this is risky for universities as well as higher education policy. A better recommendation...

The European Union has prioritised the pursuit of innovation-based growth and targeting of resources to promote research and development, but performance on innovation remains weak. With the lack of results comes fatigue, waning interest and mounting criticism about policy. Should the EU abandon...

This paper studies the importance of the socialization environment - nest - for the career destinations of early career researchers. In a sample of research groups in the fields of science and engineering at universities in Germany, we identify research orientation, output, funding as well as...

This article investigates how a firm's financial strength affcts its dynamic decision to invest in R&D. We estimate a dynamic model of R&D choice using data for German firms in high-tech manufacturing industries. The model incorporates a measure of the firm's financial strength, derived from its...

Die Studie präsentiert eine Übersicht zu Forschungsarbeiten von Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsbedingungen von Arbeitnehmern im Fokus von Forschern, Forschungsorganisationen und Forschungsförderern im Zeitraum von 1970 bis 2003 und zeigt somit die Entwicklung der Forschung über Arbeitnehmer....

Peer review is ubiquitous in modern science: from the evaluation of publications to the distribution of funding. While there is a long tradition of, and many arguments for, peer review as a beneficial and necessary component of scientific processes, the exponential growth of the research...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current state of higher education, high-impact research and university rankings in Asian emerging market-India. Firstly, overview of higher education and government schemes for academic research is presented. Secondly, progress of high-impact...

We study a structural model of R&D alliance networks in which firms jointly form R&D collaborations to lower their production costs while competing on the product market. We derive the Nash equilibrium of this game, provide a welfare analysis and determine the optimal R&D subsidy program that...

Academic researchers face mobility related decisions throughout their careers. We study the importance of team and organisational characteristics of the home departments for career choices of departing researchers in the fields of science and engineering at higher education institutions in...

This study investigates the effects of an R&D subsidy scheme on participating firms' net R&D investment. Making use of a specific policy design in Belgium that explicitly distinguishes between research and development grants, we estimate direct and cross-scheme effects on research versus...
