论文摘要
公司的创新潜力取决于其在研发网络中的地位。但是有关这种关系的细节仍然不清楚,因为已经在讨论了量化网络嵌入性的措施。我们提出并验证从R&D网络的加权K核分解获得的一种新措施,即恢复。使用有关研发联盟的数据,我们分析了25年内14,000家公司的旋转变化和专利活动。回归分析表明,Coreness通过预测未来的专利来解释公司的研发输出。
Firms' innovation potential depends on their position in the R&D network. But details on this relation remain unclear because measures to quantify network embeddedness have been controversially discussed. We propose and validate a new measure, coreness, obtained from the weighted k-core decomposition of the R&D network. Using data on R&D alliances, we analyse the change of coreness for 14,000 firms over 25 years and patenting activity. A regression analysis demonstrates that coreness explains firms' R&D output by predicting future patenting.
