Misallocation of scientific credit: the role of hierarchy and preferences. An extension of Lissoni et al. (2013)
No full textWe extend the results in Lissoni et al. (2013, J. Econ. Behav. Organ., 95, 49–69) on scientific credit misallocation, as measured by misalignment between authorship and inventorship recognition in patentpublication pairs. Extending the analysis to European data, we confirm that, other things being equal,
the probability of exclusion of a scientific author from a publication-related patent declines with seniority and increases for women. In addition, we find that the senior scientists’ power to exclude other authors plays a more important role in explaining the patterns of exclusion than differences in authors’
attribution preferences. The unfavorable treatment of young and/or female scientists emerges in particular when patents are owned by companies or individuals, thus providing a warning flag on those institutional arrangements that favor company or individual ownership of academic patents
Localizzazione e esternalità di conoscenza: Il ruolo della mobilità degli inventori tra imprese e sul territorio
No full textIn questo lavoro, integriamo due linee di ricerca. In particolare, descriviamo e studiamo la rete di inventori che brevettano in imprese e aree geografiche diverse per testare se la sua distribuzione spaziale possa spiegare la distribuzione spaziale dei flussi di conoscenza generati dai loro spostamenti. Il contributo che ci proponiamo di offrire è duplice. Da un lato, estendiamo l’analisi e le implicazioni del concetto di conoscenza tacita evitando però la conclusione che conoscenza tacita implica necessariamente la localizzazione dei flussi di conoscenza (Breschi and Lissoni, 2001; Boschma and Frenken, 2006). Dall’altro, presentiamo e sosteniamo il ruolo delle reti sociali come principale unità di analisi per i processi di diffusione della conoscenza e non la città o la regione. Secondo Boschma and Frenken
(2006) infatti, il ruolo delle relazioni spaziali fra attori economici, la loro evoluzione ed i cambiamenti nel tempo sono cruciali per i processi di cambiamento tecnologico
Brevetti universitari e economia della ricerca in Italia, Europa e Stati Uniti. Una rassegna dell’evidenza recente
No full textThe paper examines the most recent empirical studies on the impact of university patenting on the economics of public research. Most contributions discuss the controversial effects of the Bayh-Dole Act in the US, or attempt to measure the scope of university patenting in Europe. We highlight two main research lines. The first one deals with the possibility that patenting research tools may slow down scientific progress, whose cumulative nature requires free access to the stock of existing knowledge. The second comprises works that attempt to test the impact of patenting on the scientists’ publication activity, at the individual level. It is shown that academic inventors publish more frequently than their peers who do not contribute to patenting; and that no apparent trade-off exists between publishing and patenting activities. On the contrary, a moderate trade-off exists at the systemic level, due to the fact that the existence of patents in given research field discourages other scientists to join the field, thus limiting the cumulative process of scientific advancement

THE SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTIVITY OF ACADEMIC INVENTORS: NEW EVIDENCE FROM ITALIAN DATA
No full textWe investigate the scientific productivity of Italian academic inventors, namely academic researchers designated as inventors on patent applications to the European Patent Office, 1978-1999. We use a novel longitudinal data set comprising 299 academic inventors, and we match them with an equal number of non-patenting researchers. We enquire whether a trade-off between publishing and patenting, or a trade-off between basic and applied research exists, on the basis of the number and quality of publications. We find no trace of such a trade-off, and find instead a strong and positive relationship between patenting and publishing, even in basic science. Our results suggest, however, that it is not patenting per se that boosts scientific productivity, but the advantage derived from solid links with industry, as the strongest correlation between publishing and patenting activity is found when patents are owned by business partners, rather than individual scientists or their universities.Scientific productivity, Academic inventors, University patents,
