Tracing the footprint of knowledge spillover: Evidence from U.S.-China collaboration in nanotechnology

Physically Proximate or Culturally Cohesive? Geography, Ethnic Ties, and Innovation in China

Recent scholarship suggests that collaboration between a firm’s headquarters personnel and indigenous overseas inventors enhances innovation by the latter. We explore how headquarters inventors’ physical proximity and intrafirm ethnic networks influence this knowledge spillover. Data from 104 U.S. multinational firms show that collaboration between inventors in the U.S. and on-site collaboratio...

Does "birds of a feather flock together" matter - Evidence from a longitudinal study on US-China scientific collaboration

China’s status as a scientific power, particularly in the emerging area of nanotechnology, has become widely accepted in the global scientific community. The role of knowledge spillover in China’s nanotechnology development is generally assumed, albeit without much convincing evidence. Very little has been investigated on the different mechanisms of knowledge spillover. Utilizing both cross-sec...

Resource Spillover from Academia to High Tech Industry: Evidence from New Nanotechnology-Based Firms in the U.S

The spatial spillover effect of technical efficiency and its influencing factors for China’s mariculture — based on the partial differential decomposition of a spatial durbin model in the coastal provinces of China

Using mariculture data from China’s nine coastal provinces from 2003 to 2015, this paper first evaluates the technical efficiency through data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, this paper analyses the spatial spillover effect of technical efficiency and its influencing factors with a spatial panel Durbin model (SDM). The results indicate that there are obvious regional differences in the techni...

Organizational Learning and Knowledge Spillover in Innovation Networks: Agent-Based Approach (Extending SKIN Framework)

In knowledge-based economy, knowledge has a public good and non-rivalry nature. Firms build their own knowledge stock not only by means of internal R&D and collaboration with partners, but also by means of previously spilled over knowledge of other firms and public research laboratories (such as universities). Firms based on their absorptive capacity, and level of intra-industry and extra-indus...
