Abstract:This paper analyzes the causality between inventor productivity and inventor mobility. The results show that the level of education has no influence on inventor productivity. Making use of external sources of knowledge, on the contrary, has a significant effect on productivity. Finally, firm size has a positive impact on productivity. Firm size also influences inventor mobility, although negatively. Whereas existing research implicitly assumes causality to point in one direction, this study ex ante allows for a simultaneous relationship. To deal with the expected endogeneity problem, instrumental variables techniques (IVREG and IVPROBIT) will be employed. Results show that mobile inventors are more productive than non-movers. Whereas a move increases productivity, an increase in productivity decreases the probability to observe a move.

“…Skeptics noted that this conclusion was only valid if the observed crosssectional earnings differences between education groups reflected true productivity differentials, rather than inherent ability differences that happened to be correlated with education (e.g., Denison, 1964). The emergence of large-scale microeconomic datasets in the 1960s lead to an outpouring of research on education and earnings, much of it focussed on the issue of "ability bias" in the earnings differentials between more-and less-educated i See Cohn and Addison (1997) for a selective review of recent international studies, and Psacharopoulos (1985Psacharopoulos ( , 1994 for a broad overview of the international literature on schooling and earnings.…”

“…At the national level the role of higher education and skill composition for growth has been highlighted in previous research (Denison 1968;Rosenberg and Nelson 1994). More recently, the link between universities' influence on commercialization, and the transformation towards a knowledge-based economic development at the regional level, has received an increasing attention (for a survey, see Phan and Siegel 2006).…”

Specialization of Regions and Universities: The New Versus the Old

This paper analyzes whether there is a correspondence between a university's research specialization and industrial specialization in the region hosting the university, and to what extent universities influence regional productivity. Moreover, the analysis seeks to answer if a difference can be detected between the influences of old and new universities on regional performance. To achieve this end we utilize a unique data set on spatially disaggregated data for Sweden in the period 1975-99. A two-step Heckman regression analysis is implemented to examine whether universities' research specialization matches regional specialization in production as compared to the average region. The results suggest a correspondence in specialization, as well as positive productivity effects. However, there are also considerable differences across regions, albeit primarily unrelated to the age of the universities.Universities, norms, regional specialization, policies,
