This paper proposes a framework to account for innovation similar to the usual accounting framework in production … analysis and a measure of innovativity comparable to that of total factor productivity. This innovation accounting framework is … illustrated using micro-aggregated firm data from the first Community Innovation Surveys (CIS1) for seven European countries …

Research and development is a crucial activity in the innovation process. Not every firm is in a position to overcome …

between innovation effort (R&D) or innovation output (the share of innovative sales) and the firm's duration of survival. We … seems to be an inverted-U relationship between R&D or innovation output and long-term survival, suggesting that too much R …&D or product innovation can cause firms to die, perhaps because of excessive risk. Survival has a cyclical behaviour, and …

There is growing evidence that firms increasingly adopt open innovation practices. In this paper we investigate the … impact of two such external knowledge acquisition strategies, 'buy' and 'cooperate', on firm's product innovation performance … while both 'buy' and 'cooperate' have a positive effect on innovation, there is little statistical evidence that using them …

We propose a model where both R&D and ICT investment feed into a system of three innovation output equations (product …, process and organizational innovation), which ultimately feeds into a productivity equation. We find that ICT investment and … usage are important drivers of innovation in both manufacturing and services. Doing more R&D has a positive effect on …

This paper compares the contribution of R&D to innovation in terms of the various innovation output measures provided … by the third Community Innovation Survey (CIS 3) for French manufacturing firms and in terms of accounting for … interindustry innovation differences. …
