Technology transfer offices and academic spin-off creation: the case of Italy (2013, background): “In this framework, works by Audretsch and Lehmann (2005), Varga (2000), and Rodriguez-Pose and Refolo (2003) have highlighted that firms tend to concentrate in proximity of universities, as they find it easier to have access to the knowledge generated by the university.”
Entrepreneurship, Agglomeration and Technological Change (2005, background): “In Varga (2000, 2001) empirical evidence is provided that the spillover impact in knowledge production is positively related to the size of the region.”
University spillovers and new firm location (2005, unknown): “As Varga (2000) shows, university graduates may be one of the most important channels for disseminating knowledge from academia to the local high technology industry.”
Policies for science, technology and innovation:: Translating rationales into regional policies in a multi-level setting (2008, background): “…for science, techn a multi-level setting, Res Policy (2008), doi:10.1016/j.respol.2008.03.006 tend to be more innovative than firms located elsewhere, although the extent of this spatial impact would vary according to the type of firm and the sector and technology in question (Varga, 2000).”
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Industrial Development: Geography and the Creative Field Revisited (2006, background): “In these ways, knowledge produced at one site is acquired, often gratis, at other sites (Anselin et al. 1997; Audretsch 2002; Feller 2002; Grossetti 1995; Maskell and Törnquist 2003; Rodríguez-Pose and Refolo 2003; Varga 2000; Zucker et al. 1998b).”
Patents and innovation counts as measures of regional production of new knowledge (2002, background): “…applied in empirical studies of regional innovation in the US (Jaffe 1989, Acs, Audretsch and Feldman 1991, Anselin, Varga and Acs, 1997, 2000, Varga 2000), in Italy (Audretsch and Vivarelly 1994, Capello 2001), in France (Autant-Bernard 1999) in Austria (Fischer and Varga 2001b) and in…”
Knowledge Spillovers from Research Universities: Evidence from Endowment Value Shocks (2014, background): “…example, Bania, Eberts, and Fogerty (1993), Audretsch and Feldman (1996), Anselin, Varga, and Acs (1997, 2000), Zucker, Darby, and Brewer (1998), Varga (2000), Adams (2002), Cohen, Nelson, and Walsh (2002), Woodward, Figueiredo, and Guimarães (2006), Abramovsky, Harrison, and Simpson (2007),…”
Assessing the Regional Economic Development Impacts of Universities: A Review of Current Approaches (2007, background): “Varga (1998, 2000) demonstrates the importance of agglomeration effects in allowing firms in technology-intensive industries to take advantage of university research.”
Social Networks: Effects of Social Capital on Firm Innovation* (2010, background): “Moreover, Anselin, Varga, and Acs (1997) evidenced the confirmation of earlier findings that academic externalities are not only uniform across sectors MOLINA-MORALES AND MARTÍNEZ-FERNÁNDEZ 259 but also indicate important differences across sectors in terms of agglomeration effects (Varga 2000).”
Econometric modelling of the regional knowledge production function in Europe (2015, background): “As highlighted by Varga (2000), it can be expected, for instance,”
Collaboration Between Firms and Universities in Italy: The Role of a Firm’s Proximity to Top-Rated Departments (2014, unknown): “Previous studies have found a positive relationship between basic academic research and local innovation outcomes thanks to the effects of knowledge spillovers (Arrow 1962; Nelson 1986; Jaffe 1989) and the location of firms on growth (Varga 2000; Bade and Nerlinger 2000; Abramovsky et al. 2007).”
