The global production of scientific and technology knowledge continues to grow. Advanced Western countries such as the USA and the EU countries continue to lead science and technology (S&T) in the world. The emergence of other knowledge-producing countries that occupy prominent positions in knowledge production have been changing the geography of w...
Countries’ scientific systems are a key element of the knowledge economy. This paper explores the convergence pattern of the scientific systems of a wide range of countries around the world during the period 2003–2016. Drawing on data on national scientific production from a sample of 121 developed and developing countries, the log t test methodolo...
This paper examines the patterns of convergence in international scientific collaboration across a set of developed and developing countries from 1997 through 2012. The empirical analysis was carried out in a novel way applying the methodology developed by Phillips and Sul (Econometrica 75:1771–1855, 2007; J Appl Econom 24:1153–1185, 2009) to inter...
The goal of this paper is to analyse the innovation activity convergence process across European regions from 2002 to 2012. A novel methodology developed by Phillips and Sul (2007, 2009) that allows either detection of overall convergence or endogenous identification of groups of regions was applied. The results support the club convergence hypothe...
The aim of this work is to identify convergence clubs in 17 Latin American countries in terms of GDP per capita during the period 1990–2014. To do this, we apply the methodology developed by Phillips-Sul in order to identify the different convergence clubs on the path of growth in the Latin American economy over this period. The empirical results s...
Several studies have revealed that R&D funds, university-level characteristics and the internal university environment determine the number of patents applied for by universities. However, only a few papers have analysed the effect of the demand side on the production of patents. This study looks into the extent to which patents generated by Europe...
p>This paper describes a teaching experience using Socrative, a third party electronic tool, for real-time questioning in lectures of Econometrics. Econometrics is a theoretical-practical subject, but traditionally a large proportion of our students tend to focus on the practical and discard the theory, often skipping classes on theory and avoiding...
Motivating students to attend and participate in the classroom is a complex issue, especially in subjects with arduous theoretical reasoning that students tend to find difficult to understand. This question takes a vital importance when the subject has a significant practical part whose content relies on previously taught theory. Normally, these pr...
In Econometrics, as in most theoretical-practical subjects, students need some time to fully comprehend the theory and its applications into different issues. However, many of the concepts are difficult to understand in the beginning and may lead them to lose motivation. As a consequence, the study on a regular basis is left aside and only when the...
The main objective of the teaching project described in this paper is unlocking and widening the learning process of Econometrics by using quick response (QR) codes. Econometrics is a subject taught within the third year of the degree of Business and Administration at the University of Cadiz. The tool described here is being implemented progressive...
This paper examines the relationship between knowledge spillovers from universities and new business location in high-technology
sectors. We focus on the contribution to new business formation through spillovers stemming from three main university outputs:
knowledge-based graduates, research activities, and technological knowledge. We construct a n...
The construction of the new Europe based on knowledge strengthens the role of the regions and offers great potential for generating higher levels of growth and employment and greater prosperity and cohesion. In this paper, the geographical distribution of knowledge produced by European universities in the regions has been analysed by means of a sam...
This study examines the role of the nature of university scientific research in the location of new firms in high technology sectors in Spain. To do this, we used an original dataset with information on 604 companies and 63 universities in Spain for the period 2001-2004. This dataset includes information about the scientific research undertaken in...
This paper examines the relationship between the knowledge spillovers from universities and new firms' formation in high technology sectors in Spain. We focus on the contribution to new firms' formation through spillovers stemming from the three main university outputs: first, knowledge based graduates, second research activities and third technolo...
