Research output from university-industry collaborative projects
2011
We study collaborative and non-collaborative projects that are supported by
government grants. First, we propose a theoretical framework to analyze optimal decisions in these
projects. Second, we test our hypotheses with a unique dataset containing academic publications
and research funds for all the academics at the major engineering departments in the UK. We find
that the type of the project (measured by its level of appliedness) is increasing in the type of both
the university and firm partners. Also, the quality of the project (number and impact of the
publications) increases with the quality of the researcher and firm, and with the affinity in the
partners� preferences. The collaboration with firms increases the quality of the project only when
the firms� characteristics make them valuable partners.
