The need for innovation as a rationale for government involvement in entrepreneurship (2009, background): “Profitably operated new ventures buffer taxpayers from the high operating costs of inefficient government-managed enterprises (Ozkaya and Askari 1999 ).”
Searching high and low: what types of firms use universities as a source of innovation? (2004, unknown): “Research suggests that rarely does the work of un sities directly translate into new products or serv for industrial organizations ( Pavitt, 2001).”
Is the Economic Crisis Impairing Convergence in Innovation Performance Across Europe (2011, background): “In fact, evidence from the United States shows that the academic research that corporate practitioners find more useful is publicly funded, performed in universities and publicly accessible (Mansfield, 1995; Narin et al. 1997; Pavitt, 2001).”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “…technology has been increasing, and in turn such a science base has been largely the product of publicly funded research, while the knowledge produced by that research has been largely open and available for potential innovation to use (more in Nelson 2004; David 2001 and 2004; and Pavitt, 2001).”
The evolution of university-industry-government relationships during transition (2004, background): “Up to the end of 2002, five CRCs were approved for grant aid, two of them in the capital, Budapest, and three in the provinces.11 Changes in the ranking of participants, incidentally, do not mean higher grants for basic research (Pavitt, 2002; Senker, 2001).”
The relationships between science, technologies and their industrial exploitation: An illustration through the myths and realities of the so-called ‘European Paradox’ (2006, background): “3. Government funding of basic research is responsible, especially in the US, for most major scientific advances, including in the fields of information sciences and bio-sciences (see Pavitt (2001) and the references cited therein).”
Exploring the Knowledge Filter: How Entrepreneurship and University-Industry Relationships Drive Economic Growth ∗ (2006, background): “Underexploited knowledge also results if research carried out at universities and research institutions is hardly translated into new products or services (Pavitt, 2001).”
