The distribution of partnership returns: Evidence from co-authorships in economics journals

Francis Bidault and Thomas Hildebrand

Research Policy, 2014, vol. 43, issue 6, 1002-1013

Abstract: Partnerships can be found in many areas of social and economic life. These arrangements have become particularly prevalent in research and development activities where organizations increasingly seek partners to complement their own technological capabilities. R&D partnerships, however, are fraught with challenges because the conditions for optimum effectiveness and efficiency of cooperation are still not fully understood. Academic partnerships are also very common and offer a fertile ground for investigation.
