Chapter 7 in Innovation, Networks, and Knowledge Spillovers, 2006, pp 135-166 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The relationship between university and industry is a complex and heterogeneous phenomenon, and an important topic of the recent debate on innovation systems. This chapter explores the role of knowledge flows between universities and firms in the Austrian national innovation system and provides valuable insights into several dimensions of knowledge flows that are not typically explored in research on this topic. The patterns of interaction between 46 different fields of science and 49 economic sectors represent an important and interesting outcome of the analysis. Left censored Tobit models are used to evaluate the effect of sector specific and science field specific characteristics upon the probability of knowledge interaction, disaggregated by type of interaction.
