| dc.description.abstract | Does the collaboration between firms and universities or other
research organisations improves the quality of research? Why do
firms collaborate with public research organisations? The rising
importance of university- industry collaboration over the last twenty
years makes this question a relevant one. We therefore analyse
the relationships between firms and universities using data on
firms’ publications in scientific journals. Among all channels
through which the relationships between universities and firms are
built, joint scientific publications appear to be an important but yet
little explored one, especially as regards Italy. We consider the
case of the biotechnology sector in Italy. Our aim is to analyse the
behaviour of the firms with respect to publications and innovation,
in order to shed new insights on the peculiarities of the Italian
innovation system and the possible policy implications.
For this purpose we built a database of all scientific publications of
Italian biotechnology firms over the period 1990 to 2006 and we
provide evidence on the institutional and geographic nature of
publication networks and on the determinants of research quality.
We find that the collaboration with universities and international
partners, especially if the research networks are large and varied,
increases the research quality.
We also begun to collect data on firm size from 1997 to 2006, in
order to confront them with the data on publications: our
preliminary analysis shows that larger firms have a higher
propensity to publish, however small (but not micro) firms publish
very high quality papers | it_IT |
