Abstract: We examine the determinants of innovation cooperation in general, and with science in particular. First, the focus was on innovative firms: the ones that may decide to cooperate in innovation. Second, the cooperation with science was only defined for firms which decide to cooperate. A trivariate model with double sample selection was estimated to address the potential bias due to self-selected subsamples. Innovative firms that cooperate with science had a better in-house capability, were larger, and received more R%D support than innovators that cooperate with other partners. Furthermore, their probability of cooperating with science increased with the level of protection.
