The purpose of this paper is to analyse the locational relationship between industry R&D and university R&D in Sweden using a simultaneous equation approach. Results indicate that the location of industrial R&D is quite sensitive to the location of university R&D, and that the location of university R&D is sensitive to the location of industrial R&D.
The paper examines how recessions affect R&D spending -- one such channel for growth during times of reduced profits, according to economist Joseph Schumpeter. If production suffers during recessions while R&D does not, then recessions should be an ideal time to seek out and develop new ideas and products. However, empirical evidence shows that R&D tends to fall during recessions, not rise.
The authors use patent citations as a proxy for technology spillovers and we bring empirical evidence that supports the hypothesis that a US subsidiary conducting R&D overseas facilitates the flow of knowledge between its host and home countries.
The report presents the latest trends in foreign direct investment and explores the internationalization of research and development by transnational corporations along with the development implications of this phenomenon.
The authors explore how R&D project characteristics condition the governance of an R&D project and its individual activities. Through the analysis of detailed data from a subsidiary of STMicroelectronics, the authors identify the main drivers of partner selection for innovation.
This paper formulates a model to explain how parental care responsibilities and family structure interact in affecting childrens mobility characteristics. Siblings compete in location and employment decisions so as to direct parental care decisions at later stages towards their preferred outcome.
Using an integrated model of purposive R&D activity and human capital accumulation, this paper analyses the joint impact that product market competition may exert on the sectoral distribution of skills and economic growth.
This article begins with a description of the general structure of state R&D tax credits, and then explains how their true value can be measured, and how the average value as well as the availability of R&D tax credits have evolved over time. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of this evolution in terms of tax competition among states.
This paper clusters and ranks the research performance of thirty-seven Australian universities over the period 1998-2002. Research performance is measured according to audited numbers of PhD completions, publications and grants (in accordance with rules established by the Department of Education, Science and Training) and analysed in both total and per academic staff terms.
According to the report, there are five DOT objectives that guide the agencys research priorities: safety, mobility, global connectivity, environmental stewardship, and security. Most DOT priorities address more than one objective and are supported by several departmental programs.
