这项研究使用1991年至2010年全球企业的综合专利数据，考察了企业的研究合作如何影响其创新成果的质量。通过共同专利关系识别研究合作，我们发现与其他公司的研究合作，特别是与外国公司的研究合作，导致创新质量的大幅提高。我们还观察到经纪业务在全球网络中的积极作用，特别是对于与国际合作有联系的公司。这些结果适用于在没有任何合作的情况下单独实现的对创新质量的影响。因此，我们的研究结果强调了与各种合作伙伴，特别是与外国合作伙伴建立联系以提高创新绩效的重要性。最后，我们发现21世纪头10年的协作效应比上世纪90年代更大，并且随企业规模和国家的不同而不同。
This study examines how research collaboration of firms affects the quality of their innovation outcomes using comprehensive patent data for firms in the world from 1991 to 2010. Identifying research collaboration by co-patenting relationships, we find that research collaboration with other firms, particularly with foreign firms, leads to substantial improvement in innovation quality. We also observe a positive effect of the brokerage in the global network, especially for firms with international collaboration links. These results are applicable to the effect on the quality of innovation achieved individually without any collaboration. Therefore, our findings emphasize the importance of links with a variety of partners, particularly with foreign partners to improve innovation performance. Finally, we find that the collaboration effect is larger in the 2000s than in the 1990s and varies depending on firm size and across countries.
