Technological Opportunity and Spillovers of R&D: Evidence from Firms' Patents, Profits and Market Value

Open access
Jaffe, Adam·1986·National Bureau of Economic Research

Abstract

This paper presents evidence that firms' patents, profits and market value are systematically related to the "technological position' of firms' research programs.Further, firms are seen to "move" in technology space in response to the pattern of contemporaneous profits at different positions.These movements tend to erode excess returns."Spillovers" of R&D are modelled by examining whether the R&D of neighboring firms in technology space has an observable impact on the firm's R&D success.Firms whose neighbors do much R&D produce more patents per dollar of their own R&D, with a positive interaction that gives high R&D firms the largest benefit from spillovers.In terms of profit and market value, however, their are both positive and negative effects of nearby firms' R&D.The net effect is positive for high R&D firms, but firms with R&D about one standard deviation below the mean are made worse off overall by the R&D of others.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
