“…La respuesta a ello, es que existen muy pocas alternativas para reemplazar las patentes como medida de la producción de conocimiento. La mejor medida sería el número de innovaciones comercializadas, sin embargo, la imposibilidad para trabajar con esta variable se debe a la falta de disponibilidad de información (Buesa, Heijs, & Baumert, 2010).…”

“…No sucede lo mismo a nivel de empresa, puesto que sólo se obtuvo un coeficiente de 0.3, siendo mucho mejor la correlación para empresas por encima de un tamaño mínimo. En general puede señalarse que si bien se demuestra que el análisis de las patentes como indicadores de innovación es acertado (Acs & Anzelin, 2002), (Mcaleer, 2005), (Buesa, Heijs, & Baumert, 2010), (Chen, Yang, Shu, Hu, Meyer, & Bhattacharya, 2009), (Poop, 2005; hay evidencia que en otras ocasiones no son lo suficientemente sólidos para realizar dicha evaluación (Chudnovsky, López, & Pupato, 2006), (Global Innovators, 2005), (Sakakibara, 1999), (Crespi, & Zuniga, 2011), por lo cual resulta bastante arriesgado usarlos indiscriminadamente sin tener en cuenta sus limitaciones para tal fin.…”

1 ResumenUna de las medidas más destacadas para la innovación es el análisis de patentes. A pesar de la importancia relativa que se ha asignado al estudio de las patentes, la literatura muestra una discrepancia respecto a la certeza de usarla como una medida de alcance de objetivos. En el presente artículo se señalan los principales debates al respecto; mostrando estudios y evidencias que soportan el uso de las patentes como medición de la innovación, y estudios y evidencias que van en contra de dicho uso. A partir de las evidencias encontradas, se concluye que la efectividad de la medición de innovación mediante patentes es altamente dependiente de múltiples factores y, por lo tanto, las patentes no son adecuadas para medir la innovación. Se sugiere el uso de indicadores derivados de las patentes para aprovechar la información que éstas contienen.Palabras clave: innovación, investigación y desarrollo, patentes, medición. AbstractPatent analysis is one of the most highlighted innovation measures. Despite the relative importance given to patent studies, the reviewed literature shows disagreement regarding its certainty as a measure to achieve goals. In this document, the main discussions towards this topic are reviewed. It shows studies and evidences that support patent use as an innovation measurement, and likewise, it shows studies and evidences that contradict its use for the purpose mentioned above. From the evidences collected, we conclude that the effectiveness of patents to measure innovation is highly dependent on multiple factors, so they are not an adequate tool for this purpose. The use of alternate patent indicators is recommended in order to take advantage of the information that patents contain.Keywords: Innovation, patents, research and development, measurement.

“…The greater the differences among regions, the more attention should be paid to innovation system study (Buesa, 2006). Buesa (2010) used the knowledge production function for analysis, and pointed out that the national and regional environments, and the innovative companies, third level institutes, and research institutions have an important impact on regional innovation capacity.…”

The study reviews Chinese and international regional innovation capacity and extenics theory, and applies extenics theory to construct a measurement model of regional innovation coordination. It empirically researches 31 Chinese provinces on the coordination of regional innovation in both 2007 and 2015. The research findings indicate that the Industry-University-Research status is not optimistic in China: on the one hand, the coordination abilities of most enterprises are relatively low; and on the other hand, compared with 2007, the proportion of areas with good coordination dropped 10% in 2015. It is thus clear that the effect of adjustments by relevant government departments relating to Industry-University-Research is poor and the coordination of innovation abilities in some provinces are falling rather than rising. Relevant decision-making authorities should take note of this and take more effective measures to promote the coordination of research cooperation and to enhance regional coordination.

“…The literature acknowledges a range of firm-specific attributes which are positively associated with innovation, such as size, age, human capital and market extension (Buesa et al, 2010;Mansfield, 1963;Geroski, 1995;Cohen, 1995). There is some evidence that controlling for these effects weakens the link between clustering and innovation (Lee, 2009).…”

The paper identifies the consensus view which is emerging in the literature, based on both theory and evidence, that strong clusters are likely to be attractive for inward direct investment and that they promote innovation. The paper tests whether this relationship is evident in Great Britain using data derived from the UK's Annual Foreign Direct Investment survey and the UK's Community Innovation Survey 2007. It addresses a surprising gap in the emerging literature by also examining the relationship between cluster strength and outward direct investment, thereby testing Porter's (1990) claim in The Competitive Advantage of Nations, that advantages gained in strong clusters would be the foundations of international competitiveness. The paper also distinguishes between two different types of agglomeration economy, localisation economies based on collocation of firms in related lines of activity, and urbanisation economies based on the overall concent ration of economic activity in a particular region, a distinction most of the emerging literature in International Business has not made clear. The first set of models examine the propensity to engage in outward direct investment and the geographic pattern of foreign ownership of firms active in Great Britain and find that both are positively related to cluster strength, with localisation economies being more important than urbanisation economies. Two models of innovation are estimated, the first examines what factors influence firms to be innovative and the second what influences innovation effort as measured by R&D intensity. In both cases there is evidence that regional agglomeration promotes innovation and that there are stronger effects flowing from own industry agglomeration than from broader regional scale.
