我们调查了四个主要的欧洲国家，法国，德国，西班牙和英国的合作创新活动，使用国际可比的制造业和服务业的公司层面的数据。我们研究的角色，知识流，成本和风险分担和公共财政支持企业的合作决策。我们的研究结果表明，企业更重视外部信息流更有可能与研究基地比与其他公司合作，公司面临的专用性问题更有可能与研究基地和上游和下游公司比与直接竞争对手合作。我们发现西班牙的证据表明，企业合作，以克服风险和财务约束。我们还发现，公众支持的接收是积极的合作创新。根据政策重点，这种关系在与研究基地的合作中最为牢固。
We investigate co-operative innovative activity in four major European countries, France, Germany, Spain and the UK, using internationally comparable firm-level data for manufacturing and service sectors. We examine the roles of knowledge flows, cost- and risk-sharing and public financial support in firms’ decisions to collaborate. Our results suggest that firms which place greater value on external information flows are more likely to co-operate with the research base than with other firms and that firms facing appropriability problems are more likely to co-operate with the research base and with upstream and downstream firms than with direct competitors. We find evidence for Spain to suggest that firms collaborate to overcome risks and financial constraints. We also find that receipt of public support is positively related to undertaking collaborative innovation. In line with the focus of policy, this relationship is strongest for co-operation with the research base.
