    Modeling interregional research collaborations in German biotechnology using industry directory data

    No full text
    This article describes a data set to map and model research collaborations in German biotechnology. Underlying micro-data for firms and institutions in the biotech sector together with information on their research collaboration partners have been extracted from a commercial industry directory, the BIOCOM Year and Address book, for 2005 and 2009. The data have been processed and aggregated to the level of NUTS3 regions. This core data set has been linked to regional covariates which measure the regional endowment with biotech-related research capacities, sector-specific S&T policy support and the strength of a region׳s overall local innovation system. The full data set, which is attached to this article, offers applied researchers an alternative source of information for empirical analyses of knowledge flows in research networks and for studying their determinants. Potential fields of application include social network and regression analysis. First empirical results are reported in “Determining factors of interregional research collaboration in Germany׳s biotech network: Capacity, proximity, policy?” (Mitze and Strotebeck, 2018) and “Centrality and get-richer mechanisms in interregional knowledge networks” (Mitze and Strotebeck, 2018).

    Does Cluster Policy Trigger R&D Activity? – Evidence from German Biotech Contests

    No full text
    This paper evaluates the R&D enhancing effects of two large public grant schemes for the German biotechnology industry (BioRegio, BioProfile). Both grant schemes are organized in the form of contents for cooperation with the goal to foster the performance of innovative firms by their organization in research clusters. We apply a Differencein Differences estimation technique in a generalized linear model framework, which allows us to control for different initial regional conditions in R&D activity of the biotech sector. Our econometric findings support the view that winners generally outperform non-winning participants during the treatment period, thus indicating that exclusive funding as well as the stimulating effect of being a 'winner' have positive eff ects on R&D activity in the short-term. Apart from this direct winner effect, for the non-winning participants no beneficial indirect effect due to a mobilization of local actors during the application phase could be detected. Finally, first attempts in estimating the long-term effects of the contests for cooperation approach on the winner regions'R&D activity in the post-treatment period show ambiguous results.Diese Arbeit analysiert die regionalen Fördereffekte des BioRegio- und BioProfile-Wettbewerbs für die deutsche Biotechnologie bezogen auf private FuE-Tätigkeit. Beide Förderprogramme zeichnen sich durch einen expliziten Wettbewerbscharakter aus und verfolgen das Ziel, die Leistungsfähigkeit von innovativen Unternehmen der Biotechnologie durch ihre Organisation und Zusammenarbeit in regionalen Clustern zu erhöhen. Für die empirische Analyse verwenden wir einen Differenz-in-Differenzen-Schätzansatz im Rahmen eines generalisierten linearen Modells, welcher es uns ermöglicht, für unterschiedliche regionale Ausgangsbedingungen und gemeinsame sektorale Zeittrends in der Biotechnologie zu kontrollieren. Unsere empirischen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Gewinnerregionen während der Förderung sowohl input- als auch outputseitig gemessen eine überproportional höhere FuE- und Innovationsaktivität aufweisen als erfolglose Teilnehmer- und nicht-teilnehmende Regionen. Der mit den Wettbewerben einhergehende privilegierte Zugang zu Fördermitteln und der zusätzliche Prestigegewinn zeigen somit positive Effekte in der kurzen Frist. Demgegenüber kann für erfolglose Teilnehmer in den Wettbewerben kein indirekter Effekt der Förderung gegenüber Nicht-Teilnehmern in der Form festgestellt werden, dass eine zusätzliche Mobilisierung der regionalen Akteure im Rahmen der Wettbewerbsteilnahme stattfindet. Ebenfalls hinterlässt eine erste Analyse der Langfristwirkungen in den Gewinnerregionen nach der Förderperiode einen eher gemischten Gesamteindruck

    Network Dependency in Migration Flows – A Space-time Analysis for Germany since Re-unification

    No full text
    The contribution of this paper is to analyse the role of network interdependencies in a dynamic panel data model for German internal migration fl ows since re-unification. So far, a capacious account of spatial patterns in German migration data is still missing in the empirical literature. In the context of this paper, network dependencies are associated with correlations of migration flows strictly attributable to proximate flows in geographic space. Using the neoclassical migration model, we start from its aspatial specification and show by means of residual testing that network dependency eff ects are highly present. We then construct spatial weighting matrices for our system of interregional flow data and apply spatial regression techniques to properly handle the underlying space-time interrelations. Besides spatial extensions to the Blundell-Bond (1998) system GMM estimator in form of the commonly known spatial lag and unconstrained spatial Durbin model, we also apply system GMM to spatially filtered variables. Finally, combining both approaches to a mixed spatial filteringregression specification shows a remarkably good performance in terms of capturing spatial dependence in our migration equation and at the same time qualify the model to pass essential IV diagnostic tests. The basic message for future research is that space-time dynamics is highly relevant for modelling German internal migration flows.Internal migration, dynamic panel data; Spatial Durbin Model; GMM
