Abstract: | The aim of this article is at assessing the impact of R&D spillovers of companies' economic performance as measured by productivity growth. The construction of R&D spillovers is based on Jaffe's methodology (1988, 1996) which associates econometrics and data analysis. The main objective of the study is to extend this methodology by examining alternative methods for measuring R&D spillovers and to test their impacts in terms of the robustness of results. Particularly, the method used to classify companies into technological clusters as well as the metrics implemented to appreciate companies' technological proximities which enter the construction of spillovers are further investigated. |
