我们通过对一个区域网络和一个全球网络进行建模，研究了印度本地和外国劳动力流动的影响，每个网络都捕捉到了发明家的组织间流动性。我们对区域网络的分析表明，在印度，当发明家从外国组织转移到印度组织时，他们的生产率并没有提高。在全球网络中，我们发现，印度组织仍然位于外围，因为雇用了少数来自外国组织的发明家。然而，在从外国组织雇用发明人的情况下，与从其他印度组织雇用的发明人相比，他们能够产生更大影响的专利。此外，当发明者是从国外聘请时，其专利的影响力相比之下甚至更高。这些研究结果的创新和政策在新兴经济体的背景下进行了讨论。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
We examine the impact of local and foreign labor mobility in India by modeling one regional and one global network, each of which captures the inter-organizational mobility of inventors. Our analysis of the regional network shows that, within India, the productivity of inventors does not improve when they move from foreign to Indian organizations. In the global network, we find that Indian organizations remain located in the periphery as a result of employing a small number of inventors from foreign organizations. However, in the instances when inventors are hired from foreign organizations, they are able to produce patents with a higher impact in comparison to inventors hired from other Indian organizations. Furthermore, when the inventors are hired from abroad, the impact of their patents is even higher in comparison. The implications of these findings for innovation and policy in the emerging economy context are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
