本文使用美国国家标准与技术研究所(NIST)特有的数据分析了技术转移机制之间的相互关系。对NIST的历史和美国强调技术转让的经济重要性的政策进行了概述。实证分析重点分析了国家科技局在研发方面的投入以及这些投入对新发明披露、新专利申请、新专利颁发和新专利许可的级联影响；考虑到R&D对这三种投资的影响，计算出新专利许可研发弹性的总体估计为0.7976。文章最后对实证结果的影响进行了政策性总结，并为未来与美国联邦实验室技术转移相关的研究提出了建议的路线图。
This article analyzes the interrelationship among technology transfer mechanisms using data specific to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). An overview of the history of NIST and US policies that emphasize the economic importance of technology transfer are discussed. The empirical analysis focuses on NIST investments in research and development (R&D) and the cascading impact of those investments on new inventions disclosed, new patent applications, new patents issued and new patent licenses; and accounting for the effects of R&D on these three investments, an overall estimate of the R&D elasticity of new patent licenses is calculated to be 0.7976. The article concludes with a policy-focused summary of the implications of the empirical findings, and a suggested road map for future research related to technology transfer from US federal laboratories.
