Spillovers of Innovation Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of process and product innovation are analyzed in a multisectoral framework. The effect of an innovation in any particular sector propagates throughout the entire economy. A simple measure for the spillover of innovation effects to the other sectors is developed. As a consequence, an alternative viewpoint is obtained for the interpretation of the elements of the Leontief inverse and the traditional measures for interindustry linkages. An empirical application is given for the European Union in 1991. 2000 Society for Policy Modeling. Published by Elsevier Science Inc.

Regional Innovation and Spillover Effects of Foreign Direct Investment in China: A Threshold Approach by
Using a data set on 29 Chinese provinces for the period 1985-2008, this paper establishes a threshold model to analyse the relationship between spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) and regional innovation in China. There is clear evidence of doublethreshold effects of regional innovation on productivity spillovers from FDI. Specifically, only when the level of regional innovatio...
متن کاملAn Empirical Analysis of the Effects of Patents and Secrecy on Knowledge Spillovers
Theoretical considerations suggest that secrecy reduces spillovers almost completely through non-disclosure, while the disclosure requirement of patents generates some spillover and at the same time allows firms to appropriate knowledge. In this paper we empirically analyze whether protection by secrecy or protection by patents is associated with lower knowledge spillovers. Since the amount of ...
متن کاملSpillovers of Innovation Activities and Their Profitability
Knowledge spillovers to competitors are regarded as an important aspect of the innovation process. While a company possibly benefits from incoming information on successful R&D conducted by other companies, a generally high probability of leakage of knowledge in an industry will negatively affect profitability. This paper presents the results of an empirical study on the effects of outgoing and...
متن کاملMeasuring the knowledge spillovers in France departments: Comparison to a Spatial Econometrics Approach
This paper aims to measure knowledge spillovers using two methods across 94 French departments. In the first part, we estimate the reduced form of the innovation-generating equation for French departments by distinguishing the effects of R&D carried out in several geographic areas (for example from 0 to 200km, from 200 to 400 km, and from more than 400); the purpose of this first method is to m...
متن کاملMeasuring Persistence in Volatility Spillovers
This paper analyzes volatility spillovers in multivariate GARCH-type models. We show that the cross-effects between the conditional variances determine the persistence of the transmitted volatility innovations. In particular, the effect of a foreign volatility innovation on a conditional variance is even more persistent than the effect of an own innovation unless it is offset by an accompanying...
متن کاملLocal Knowledge Spillovers, Innovation and Economic Performance in Developing Countries: A discussion of alternative specifications
This paper examines the importance of local knowledge spillovers for the innovative and economic performance of firms in a developing country context. Theoretical and empirical studies in advanced economies underline the significance of local knowledge spillovers for innovation. However, not much is known about whether local knowledge spillovers work similarly in developing countries. This anal...
