Integration and Reorganisation of Industrial R&D: Deficits and Perspectives of Empirical Research
Grimpe, Christoph - 2005
The combination of research and development units following a merger or an acquisition usually requires a broad and widespread integration project to ensure that a company?s innovative capabilities are carried forward into the future. Previous research has shown, however, that the combined...

Industrial research versus development investment: the implications of financial constraints
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hottenrott, Hanna; Thorwarth, Susanne - 2009
Previous literature provided evidence on financing constraints for investment in R&D activities due to capital market imperfections and special features of R&D investments. Moreover, it has been shown that a shift in capital structure towards more debt, results in a reduction of R&D investments....

Collaboration, Stars, and the Changing Organization of Science : Evidence from Evolutionary Biology
Agrawal, Ajay K. - 2014
We report a puzzling pair of facts concerning the organization of science. The concentration of research output is declining at the department level but increasing at the individual level. For example, in evolutionary biology, over the period 1980 to 2000, the fraction of citation-weighted...

Innovation, Diffusion, and Trade
Eaton, Jonathan - 2012
We explore the determinants of research specialization across countries and its consequences for relative wages. Using a dynamic Ricardian model we examine the effects of faster international technology diffusion and lower trade barriers on the incentive to innovate. In the absence of any...
