| Tiivistelmä: | Analysing the new IFS-Leverhulme database on over 200 major British firms since 1968 the authors show that patents have an economically and statistically significant impact on firm-level ptoductivity and market value. While patenting feeds into market values immediately it appears to have a slower effect on productivity. The generates valuable real options because patents provide exclusive rights to develop new innovations, enabling firms to delay investments. Higher market uncertainty, which increases the value of real options, rreduces the impact of new patents on productivity. If the government's policy to reduce uncertainty is successful then this should increase the productivity of Britains's knowledge capita. |
