Economic Impact of Entrepreneurial Universities' Activities: An Exploratory Study of the United Kingdom (2015, background): “University impacts have been measured through flexible econometric studies, targeted and welldesigned surveys administered simultaneously at many organisations, and input-output analysis of the interindustry impacts of university expenditures (Drucker and Goldstein, 2007).”
Universities, knowledge networks and regional policy (2008, background): “Many governments and their agencies are increasingly turning their attention to the role of HEI knowledge commercialisation in developing innovative, sustainable and prosperous regional and national economies (Drucker and Goldstein, 2007).”
Regional competitiveness, university spillovers, and entrepreneurial activity (2011, unknown): “These firms in turn use this knowledge to create new products and foster regional competitiveness (Anselin et al. 1997; Acs et al. 2002; Rip 2002; Fritsch and Slavtchev 2005; Drucker and Goldstein 2007).”
Is the entrepreneurial university also regionally engaged? Analysing the influence of university's structural configuration on third mission performance (2019, background): “We conceptualise university regional contributions being produced by “knowledge spillovers” (Benneworth and Charles, 2005; Drucker and Goldstein, 2007), allowing proximate actors to more easily access knowledge-based resources (Ponds et al.”
Universities and open innovation: the determinants of network centrality (2019, background): “Indeed, innovative regional economies are typically considered to be populated by research-intensive universities engaged in world-leading research (Drucker and Goldstein 2007; Lawton Smith 2007; Sainsbury 2007; Lawton Smith et al. 2014; D’Este and Iammarino 2010; Hewitt-Dundas 2012; Laursen et al. ”
The contribution of university research to the growth of academic start-ups: an empirical analysis (2010, background): “Finally, a few studies examined how knowledge externalities affect regional economic growth (Goldstein and Drucker 2006; Goldstein and Renault 2004; for a survey see Drucker and Goldstein 2007 ).”
The economic impact of licensed commercialized inventions originating in university research (2013, background): “In their recent review of methods for assessing the economic impacts of universities, Drucker and Goldstein (2007) expand on several of the more significant (and more easily characterized) of these outputs.”
Human capital, higher education institutions, and quality of life (2011, background): “Notable examples of 4 Drucker and Goldstein (2007) survey the literature on the impacts of universities on their surrounding areas including student migration.”
The Entrepreneurial University: Vision and Metrics (2016, background): “Researchers studying this subject have used a variety of methods to measure the economic impact that universities have on regions (Drucker and Goldstein, 2007).”
The Economic and Innovation Contribution of Universities: A Regional Perspective (2009, background): “19 universities (Lockett et al., 2003; Chapple et al., 2005; Drucker and Goldstein, 2007; Abreu et al., 2008; Bramwell and Wolfe, 2008).”
The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, unknown): “In summary, although the role of universities in individuals’ mobility has not been well researched (Drucker and Goldstein 2007), the discussion above indicates that universities are attractors of talents who are inclined to stay in the area of their alma mater after graduation.”
Conceptualizing the Regional Roles of Universities, Implications and Contradictions (2010, background): “Besides the direct economic effect of universities’ role as employers and purchasers, these include “knowledge effects” such as knowledge creation, human capital development, transfer of existing know-how, research-led technological innovation, capital investment, regional leadership, impact on the ”
