“…New information, in turn, are the product of research and development of other firms and universities (Audretsch and Link 2019a, b;Audretsch and Belitski 2019), which span the range from basic research (such as the discovery of new scientific laws) (Audretsch 2014) or to development of innovation activities and achieving higher productivity (the embodiment of new ideas in products, or innovation techniques (Audretsch and Belitski 2020b). It is now well understood that because the benefits of basic research at universities and federal laboratories cannot be fully captured by those who pursue it (Chen et al 2018;Link and Oliver 2020), start-ups will be better off if the government funds activities and collaboration projects and either pursue it directly or contracts it to universities and research organizations who have this information available and who require start-up skills and market knowledge to commercialize it.…”

The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship (KSTE) seeks to explain the mechanisms of how uncommercialized knowledge can be turned into new to market products. This paper uses a large unbalanced panel of 16,542 UK firms constructed from six consecutive waves of a community innovation survey and annual business registry survey during 2002–2014 to test the differences in the returns to knowledge spillover for innovation between start-ups and incumbent firms. The theoretical, managerial, and policy implications of the study are discussed.

The findings from a study of the relationship between postdoctoral students and R&D at Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are presented in this paper. The goal of the study is not only to understand better knowledge transfers from publicly supported R&D but also to estimate the returns to R&D conducted in federally funded laboratories. Using public domain data related to FFRDCs, published by the US National Science Foundation, the R&D elasticity of doctoral students is estimated over the years 2010–2019 to be about 0.85. This estimate compares well to previous studies of the returns to publicly funded R&D.

In this paper, we focus on scientific publications as an innovative output from the research efforts at U.S. federal laboratories. The data used relate to Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). The relationship between R&D expenditures at these federal laboratories and their peer-reviewed scientific publications allows us to make inferences about the return to public-sector R&D. We examine two complementary statistical models. From the first model, we find that a 10 percent increase in constant dollar public-sector R&D is associated with between a 15.5 and 21.5 percent increase in scientific publications. From the second model, we find that the annual rate of return generated by an additional $1 million of R&D-based knowledge stock varies across the FFRDCs, averaging about 93 additional scientific publications, with the statistically significant values ranging from about 1 to as many as about 400 additional scientific publications.
