Abstract: The paper explores the link from firm size and market concentration to patenting and R&D in a sample of manufacturing firms in Denmark. The Schumpeterian notion of firm size and market concentration suggests that the combined effects by these structural determinants of industrial innovation are inducive to industrial innovation. Previous studies mainly rely on large firm evidence and most often evidence is based on truncated samples. In short, evidence on how structural determinants expectdly induce industrial innovation remains sparse at best.
