The evolution of agricultural biotechnology Europe
Keywords:
biotechnology, patents, European Union, regional economics, count data modelsAbstract
This paper analyzes the evolution of agricultural biotechnology sector in the EU15, using patents as indicators of final stage in the innovation process. Different analysis undertaken contemplate the temporal evolution of the number of patents, the degree of collaborative work during their process of generation, the spatial distribution of innovative activity between different regions of Europe and the factors which can explain the observed regional disparity in terms of number of patents.References
