Is Corporate R&D Investment in High-Tech Sectors More Effective? Some Guidelines for European Research Policy (2009, neutral): “Wakelin (2001) applied a Cobb–Douglas production function in which productivity was”
The role of internationalization in explaining innovation performance (2008, methodology): “It has also been argued that innovative firms are qualitatively different from non-innovative firms (Wakelin, 2001), and that R&D drives significant organizational adaptations that favor performance (Kafouros, 2008).”
Estimating regional variations of R&D effects on productivity growth by entropy econometrics (2009, background): “…other authors, the spatial effects of technological change has been studied by Brugger and Stuckey (1987), Todtling (1990) or, more recently, by Wakelin (2001), Bottazzi and Peri (2003) and Varga and Schalk (2004), detecting a positive correlation between technological activities and economic…”
Research and Development, Cash Flow, Agency and Governance: UK large companies (2012, background): “Nevertheless, R&D contributes strongly to economic growth as attested to by individual studies (Wakelin 2001) and the digest of results in Greenhaugh and Rogers (2010).”
Under what conditions do firms benefit from the research efforts of other organizations (2008, background): “However, past empirical results are conflicting: even though many studies find the impact of R&D spillovers to be both positive and high (Bernstein, 1988; Branstetter, 1996; Raut, 1995), for reasons that are often unclear, other studies find that spillovers have negligible or even negative consequen”

R&D and productivity: testing sectoral peculiarities using micro data (2009, methodology): “Wakelin (2001) applied a Cobb‐Douglas production function where productivity was regressed on R&D expenditures, capital and labour using data on 170 UK-quoted firms during the period 1988‐1992.”
Small Firm Innovation, Growth and Performance (2004, background): “Rather, it is the absence of a similar relationship in manufacturing firms that is unanticipated (cf. Wakelin, 1997).”
The role of spatial agglomeration in a structural model of innovation, productivity and export: a firm-level analysis (2011, positive): “However, while the positive role of innovation in enhancing firm productivity is now acknowledged (Hall and Mairesse 1995; Harhoff 1998; Wakelin 2001; Wang and Tsai 2003; Griffith et al., 2004; Parisi et al., 2006; Cainelli et al., 2006), the effects of spatial agglomeration are still a puzzling que”
