Impact of local collaboration on firms' innovation performance / by Pierre Therrien and Vanessa Chang. : Iu37-28/2001E-PDF

"Using the Survey of Innovation 1999 for Canada, we analyze the impact of being involved in collaboration agreements on the probability of launching a world class innovation. To do so, we estimate a probit model discriminating between innovators and non-innovators followed by a multinomial ordered probit model assessing the effect of different factors such as collaboration, size, and other activities linked to innovation, on the probability & being a world-first innovator. We find that being involved in collaboration agreements increases the probability of being a world-first innovator by 5.8 percentage points, which make collaboration as one of the most important factors leading to a breakthrough innovation. We also investigate the impact of different types of collaboration on firms' innovation performance and find that local collaboration (defined as partners located under 100 km) has also a positive impact on the probability of being a world-first innovator, but its effect does not outweigh the impact of other types of collaboration"--Abstract.
