Meta-national Innovations of the Developed World: National Level Analysis on 17 OECD Economies
Based on the facts of pervasive mutual R & D investment among developed countries, this research discusses the impacts of this phenomenon on innovation outputs using statistic data of OECD. The focus of this research is on the multinational firms decentralization of R & D activities all over the world, thus the concentration of innovations in some specific districts has variable means for different countries. Utilizing the Poisson model of innovation output we include the explaining variables of participation extent of R &D outward investors, knowledge pool, human recourses, infrastructures of the hosting countries and both the degree of decentralization of investors and the concentration degree of the suzerains. A dataset including observations of 20 years from 17 OECD economies is used. In order to ensure the robustness of the regression results, relative results of Poisson regression, negative binomial regression and zero-inflated negative binomial regression are also presented in comparing with that of the generalized linear model (GLM). The results show that both tapping into the world innovation networks broadly and the related concentration of innovations in district means have positive impacts on innovation.
