The Innovation Linkages in Europe

Costantiello, Alberto and Laureti, Lucio and Leogrande, Angelo and Marco, Matarrese (2021): The Innovation Linkages in Europe.

Abstract

In this article we investigate the determinants of the Innovation Linkages in Europe. We use data from the European Innovation Scoreboard of the European Commission in the period 2000-2019 for 36 countries. Data are analyzed using Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Random Effects, Dynamic Panel at 1 Stage, Dynamic Panel at 2 Stage, Pooled OLS, WLS. Results show that the Innovation Linkages in Europe is positively associated with “Buyer Sophistication”, “Government Procurement of Advanced Technology Products”, “Finance and Support”, “Firm Investments”, “Human Resources”, and negatively associated with “Population Density”, “Employment Share Services”.
