Abstract:
|
Based on a sample of research units in science and engineering at German
universities, this study reports survey evidence showing that research grants
impact research content. Research units that receive funds from industry are more
likely to source ideas from the private sector. The higher the share of industry
funding on the units’ total budget, the more likely that large firms influenced the
research agenda. Public research grants, on the other hand, are associated with a
higher importance of conferences and scientific sources. What is more, the
different sources of ideas impact scientific output. Research units that source
research ideas from small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) patent more, but not
more successful than others in terms of the impact of their inventions on future
patents. If, on the other hand, research units source ideas from large firms we find
them to publish less and with lower impact on future scientific work.
