科学前沿的技术学习与创新孕育滞后--从CERN采购到专利
Technological Learning and Innovation Gestation Lags at the Frontier of Science: from CERN Procurement to Patent
摘要:
本文有助于文献的影响,大科学中心的技术创新。我们利用一个独特的数据集与CERN的采购订单的信息,研究CERN和它的工业合作伙伴之间的合作创新过程。在对案例研究进行定性讨论后,对生存和计数数据模型进行了估计; CERN采购对供应商创新的影响通过专利申请数量来衡量。我们样本中的公司在很长一段时间内(1995-2008年)收到了第一份订单,这一事实将工业合作伙伴自然划分为“供应商”和“尚未供应商”。这可以估计CERN对首次提交专利的危害和专利申请数量的影响,以及这些影响出现所需的时间。我们发现,“欧洲核子研究中心效应”确实存在:作为欧洲核子研究中心的工业合作伙伴与首次提交专利的风险增加和专利申请数量增加有关。这些影响需要5至8年的“酝酿期”,表明吸收新思想的过程相对缓慢。
英文摘要:
This paper contributes to the literature on the impact of Big Science Centres on technological innovation. We exploit a unique dataset with information on CERN's procurement orders to study the collaborative innovation process between CERN and its industrial partners. After a qualitative discussion of case studies, survival and count data models are estimated; the impact of CERN procurement on suppliers' innovation is captured by the number of patent applications. The fact that firms in our sample received their first order over a long time span (1995-2008) delivers a natural partition of industrial partners into "suppliers" and "not yet suppliers". This allows estimating the impact of CERN on the hazard to file a patent for the first time and on the number of patent applications, as well as the time needed for these effects to show up. We find that a "CERN effect" does exist: being an industrial partner of CERN is associated with an increase in the hazard to file a patent for the first time and in the number of patent applications. These effects require a significant "gestation lag" in the range of five to eight years, pointing to a relatively slow process of absorption of new ideas.
