We aimed to study how movement restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic affected the survival of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Brazil.

This paper examines the effects of economic complexity and relatedness (proximity of pro-ductive knowledge) on the economic growth of Brazilian microregions. The perspective of economic complexity suggests that countries advancing in terms of productive sophistication and relatedness tend to achieve higher levels of income and economic growth. Addi...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of related and unrelated variety on innovation considering regional heterogeneity across locations. Previous studies show that in general, related and unrelated variety can affect innovation, but they rarely consider regional heterogeneity across locations. We use the regional knowledge production...

Knowledge spillovers have been identified as a factor affecting the unequal distribution of innovation in space. In this paper we aim to understand how territorial factors shape the novelty degree of innovations. Thus, we perform an empirical analysis that relates territorial factors to innovative performance at the firm level. Our results show tha...

Inspirada em robusta literatura sobre Sistemas Nacionais de Inovação, que confere um papel crucial à inovação no processo de desenvolvimento econômico, a abordagem dos Sistemas Regionais de Inovação (SRI) emergiu no início dos anos 1990 e, desde então, tem passado por vários refinamentos, conceituais e metodológicos. Um aspecto central desta aborda...

Nesta pesquisa analisou-se o comportamento dos preços praticados pelos revendedores de combustíveis líquidos, etanol e gasolina comum, na cidade de Sorocaba-SP, no período de janeiro de 2014 a junho de 2017, com base em uma amostra de preços fornecida pela Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP). Buscou-se compreender o co...

The literature regarding innovation policy in developing countries indicates that public support can play an important role in fostering the accumulation of technological capabilities for both exploration and exploitation, thus facilitating knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship and innovation. This paper addresses this debate, analysing the role of...

Inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can generate important knowledge spillovers on local economies, fostering regional innovation, especially in developing countries. In this paper, we analyze how regional industrial structure shapes the effects of inward FDI spillovers on the innovative performance of Brazilian regions. Prior literature has ana...

Resumo Este trabalho examina a geografia da inovação no estado de São Paulo. Seu objetivo é investigar se fatores territoriais, tais como gastos em P&D, transbordamentos de conhecimentos e aglomeração urbana, afetam a inovação no nível regional. Para isso, foram utilizados dados regionalizados da Pesquisa Industrial de Inovação Tecnológica (PINTEC/...

The role of geographical proximity in fostering innovation is widely recognized, and local flows of information and knowledge‐sharing play a critical role in interactive learning. The aim of this paper is to evaluate synergistic effects and nonlinearities in spatial and non‐spatial proximity in university‐industry collaborations. Previous studies h...

Este artigo discute a aderência de taxonomias industriais de tradição evolucionária à realidade da indústria de transformação brasileira a partir da seleção de indicadores de atividades inovativas para o ano de 2014. Os dados são analisados por meio da técnica de agrupamento, com utilização de 30 indicadores reunidos em sete diferentes grupos de ca...

This paper analyses the impact of long-term university-industry collaboration on academic research productivity. Empirical studies show mixed evidence regarding how collaboration with industry affects scientific productivity, and there is a lack of understanding of the long-term effects of collaboration. This paper addresses this shortcoming using...

Literature has been paying greater attention to the main drivers of academic researchers’ engagement with industrial partners. However, there is a lack of understanding of how academic researchers’ perceived outcomes and constraints affect their collaboration with firms. The novelty of this article is its analysis of how researchers’ perception of...

This paper examines the relationship between geographical and cognitive proximity in university–industry collaboration in Brazil. Data from university–industry collaborations were used and a measure for cognitive proximity was built based on correspondence analysis. The main results show that cognitive proximity is a substitute for geographical pro...

The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of the university collaboration with firms on the academic productivity of research groups in Brazil. To do that, the propensity score matching technique was used to build a control group in order to compare, through the estimation of two empirical models, the academic productivity of research groups t...

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar como as percepções dos grupos de pesquisa acadêmica sobre resultados, benefícios e dificuldades esperados das interações influenciam o número de interações que eles realizam com empresas, com base em um survey sobre as relações universidade-empresa no Brasil. Para tanto, por meio da Teoria de Resposta...

This paper examines factors that affect the geographical distance of university–industry linkages by analysing specific characteristics of both sides of the collaboration – firms and universities. Previous studies have provided important evidence related to this issue; however, they have used data from either firms or universities. Therefore, this...

The main aim of this paper is to analyse how the characteristics of academic research groups affect their interactions with firms. Using data from a survey conducted in Brazilian research groups, an empirical model was estimated to evaluate how the characteristics of the research groups impact their interactions with firms. Main results show that r...

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar como fatores locais e as características dos grupos de pesquisa afetam as interações universidade-empresa no Brasil. Primeiro, avalia-se como a estrutura local e as características dos grupos acadêmicos de pesquisa influenciam o número de interações que eles realizam com empresas. Em seguida, são examinad...

There is a growing interest on university-industry linkages in the field of innovation studies, since university can be an important source of information for firms’ innovative efforts. In this way, this paper aims to exam how the characteristics of academic research groups influence their interactions with firms. Using data from a survey with rese...

É crescente o interesse sobre a importância da interação universidade-empresa e como essas relações se conformam no espaço geográfico. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de examinar os fatores que influenciam a distância geográfica das interações universidade-empresa, com especial atenção para a qualidade da pesquisa acadêmica, além de ou...

As atividades de empreendedorismo acadêmico vêm recebendo crescente atenção na literatura e entre os formuladores de políticas públicas, principalmente pela sua capacidade de contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico e tecnológico dos países.
