High-Tech Exports from Developing Countries: A Symptom of Technology Spurts or Statistical Illusion? (2007, methodology): “The data for personal computers and gross enrolments in tertiary education have been drawn from the World Bank (2006) and the data for ICT patents from OECD Patent Database—for definition of the ICT-related patents, see OECD (2003: 26).”
The impact of R&D offshoring on the home knowledge production of OECD investing regions (2012, background): “…are increasingly internationalizing their R&D activities to tap into the 1 technological capabilities of specific host locations to ultimately develop the firms’ own ability to combine knowledge into innovations (e.g., Cantwell, 1995; Patel and Vega, 1999; Verspagen and Schoenmakers, 2004).”
The Increasing Importance of Geographical Proximity in Knowledge Production: An Analysis of US Patent Citations, 1975–1997 (2008, background): “…both long-distance and local interactions could intensify in the knowledge-based economy, with even multinational companies increasingly embedding themselves in localized innovation systems and acting as long-distance links between such nodes in global networks (Verspagen and Schoenmakers, 2004).”
Models of regional growth: past, present and future (2011, unknown): “These abilities collectively constitute what we call a firm’s “absorptive capacity”.24 This is not a new concept in the regional literature; e.g. Verspagen and Schoenmakers (2004) found that knowledge is more easily absorbed in regions that already have a relatively higher productivity level and a…”
Inventors and invention processes in Europe: Results from the PatVal-EU survey (2007, result): “Similar studies have been carried out for Europe (Verspagen, 1997; Verspagen and De Loo, 1999; Verspagen and Schoenmakers, 2004).”
Stylized Facts in the Geography of Innovation (2010, background): “Furthermore, studies that examine whether or not the strong proximity effect of knowledge spillovers found in macro level studies also holds true in a micro context, generally confirm the proximity effect on spillovers, and find significant negative coefficients on the geographical and technological”
Does it matter where patent citations come from? Inventor versus examiner citations in European patents (2005, background): “Finally, for a subset of patents owned by a group of 169 multinational enterprises (MNEs), we have information on their subsidiaries’ names under which the total company group patents at the EPO (see Verspagen and Schoenmakers, 2004 for an explanation of how this dataset was constructed).”
Knowledge flows and the absorptive capacity of regions (2015, background): “Moreover, patented inventions inherently differ in their market value (Giuri and Mariani, 2007); while firms patent in a large extent for strategic motives, such as building up a patent portfolio in order to improve their position in negotiations or its technological reputation (Verspagen and Schoen”
Role of home and host country innovation systems in r&d internationalisation: a patent citation analysis (2005, methodology): “For these firms, we use information on linkages originally compiled by Wilfred Schoenmakers on the basis of the Dun and Bradstreet Linkages database, version 1998 (see Verspagen and Schoenmakers, 2004).”
