National framework conditions, technological regimes and knowledge dynamics: A multilevel analysis of international innovation collaboration
(2019) EKHS32 20191Department of Economic History
- Abstract
- The behavior of a firm to engage in international innovation collaborations is characterized by complex relations that are identified at more than one level. However, less has been done to understand multilevel interactions and the effects of the national framework conditions. In this respect, this study elaborates a comprehensive set of country and firm-level variables, including the properties of technological regimes, to shed light on the diversifying nature of collaboration patterns. We relax the emphasis on firm-specific capabilities and lay the ground for country-level effects to appear within the context of multilevel modeling. We find that firms embedded in an environment with less developed research infrastructure tend to... (More)

We relax the emphasis on firm-specific capabilities and lay the ground for country-level effects to appear within the context of multilevel modeling. We find that firms embedded in an environment with less developed research infrastructure tend to collaborate more through international collaboration linkages. Knowledge dynamics are highly influential to define the international collaboration patterns of firms. Furthermore, the findings point out the importance of different levels in innovation studies while introducing the three-level hierarchical model as a novelty for the analysis of cooperation on innovation.
