Migrant Inventors as Agents of Technological Change

چکیده

How do regions enter new and distant technological fields? Who is triggering this process? This work addresses these compelling research questions by investigating the role of migrant inventors in process diversification. Immigrant can indeed act as carriers knowledge across borders influence direction change. We test latter propositions using an original dataset immigrant context European during period 2003-2011. Our findings show that: generate positive local spillovers; they help their host to develop specialisations; trigger a unrelated Their contribution comes via two main mechanisms: use own personal (knowledge creation); import from home country region transfer). impact maximised when not recombined with one (in mixed teams inventors), but it reused made only inventors). contributes existing literature regional diversification providing fresh evidence for identifying important agents structural It also migration innovation adding on unveiling some mechanisms immigrants’ transmission.

Scientific and Technological Regimes in Nanotechnology: Combinatorial Inventors and Performance

Academics and policy makers are questioning about the relation between science and technology in the emerging field of nano science and technology (NST) and the effectiveness of different institutional regimes. We analyze the performance of inventors in the NST using multiple indicators. We clustered patents in three groups according to the scientific curricula of the inventors. The first two g...

THE AUTOMOBILE ROAD TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE Diffusion of the Automobile as a Process of Technological Substitution

Advancement of the motor vehicle and its production methods is analyzed as a process of technological change. In a broader context, motor vehicles evolved as an integral component of road transportation through a series of interlaced substitutions of old by new technologies. Building on a large number of studies that described technological substitution processes, first it is shown how new ener...

Uncertainty and Technological Change

I would like to begin with two generally accepted propositions: First, technological change is a major ingredient of long-term economic growth, and second, technological change is characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. Understanding the nature of these uncertainties and the obstacles to surmounting them is not a trivial matter. Rather, it goes to the heart of how new technologies are de...
