Benvenuti nell'Anagrafe della Ricerca d'Ateneo
La valutazione delle attività di ricerca che si svolgono nelle università ha assunto un'importanza rilevante sia per l'intero sistema universitario sia all'interno di ogni singolo ateneo. Roma Tre si è quindi dotata di idonei strumenti informativi in grado di supportare al meglio le azioni di monitoraggio e di valutazione delle attività di ricerca svolte nei propri dipartimentied ha realizzato una Anagrafe della Ricerca di Ateneo.
EnglishThis paper investigates the existence and nature of knowledge-spillovers at the micro-level and, in turn,the capacity of firms to absorb new ideas generated in R&D laboratories. It evaluates the merits for a firmof attracting or retaining “key” inventors, or assembling a wide team of inventors. First, using the EPO-OECD data, we identify “key” and “normal” inventors by means of the Hill’s estimator. Then, we test thehypothesis that the presence of one “key” inventor in a firm’s R&D laboratory would have a positive effecton the Italian firms output. Our results are threefold: 1) the patent portfolio positively affects the valueof production; 2) the simple presence of “key” inventors in a R&D laboratory does not significantly affectthe output; 3) for a given number of patent applications by firm, a less concentrated patents distributionacross inventors employed in the same R&D laboratory makes a positive impact on the production.

| Abstract: | This paper investigates the existence and nature of knowledge-spillovers at the micro-level and, in turn,the capacity of firms to absorb new ideas generated in R&D laboratories. It evaluates the merits for a firmof attracting or retaining “key” inventors, or assembling a wide team of inventors. First, using the EPO-OECD data, we identify “key” and “normal” inventors by means of the Hill’s estimator. Then, we test thehypothesis that the presence of one “key” inventor in a firm’s R&D laboratory would have a positive effecton the Italian firms output. Our results are threefold: 1) the patent portfolio positively affects the valueof production; 2) the simple presence of “key” inventors in a R&D laboratory does not significantly affectthe output; 3) for a given number of patent applications by firm, a less concentrated patents distributionacross inventors employed in the same R&D laboratory makes a positive impact on the production. |
