在本文中，我们使用卡内基梅隆工业研发调查的数据来评估美国制造业“公共”（即大学和政府研发实验室）研究对工业研发的影响、公共研究在工业研发中所发挥的作用以及发挥这种作用的途径。我们发现公共研究对于少数行业的工业研发至关重要，并且对大部分制造业的工业研发产生重要影响。与大学研究很大程度上为工业研发项目产生新想法的观点相反，调查结果表明，公共研究既提出了新的研发项目，又以大致相同的方式为现有项目的完成做出了贡献。研究结果还表明，大学研究影响产业研发的关键渠道包括发表论文和报告、公开会议、非正式信息交流和咨询。我们还发现，在控制工业之后，公共研究对工业研发的影响对于大公司和初创企业来说要大得多。
In this paper, we use data from the Carnegie Mellon Survey on industrial R&D to evaluate for the U.S. manufacturing sector the influence of "public" (i.e., university and government R&D lab) research on industrial R&D, the role that public research plays in industrial R&D, and the pathways through which that effect is exercised. We find that public research is critical to industrial R&D in a small number of industries and importantly affects industrial R&D across much of the manufacturing sector. Contrary to the notion that university research largely generates new ideas for industrial R&D projects, the survey responses demonstrate that public research both suggests new R&D projects and contributes to the completion of existing projects in roughly equal measure overall. The results also indicate that the key channels through which university research impacts industrial R&D include published papers and reports, public conferences and meetings, informal information exchange, and consulting. We also find that, after controlling for industry, the influence of public research on industrial R&D is disproportionately greater for larger firms as well as start-ups.
