Innovatibility of SMEs

• Factors affecting firms
• - Likelihood to innovate
• - Efficiency of innovation (DEASFA)
• Collaboration (Industry University)
• Public support

Innovation and Productivity Growth

• Linked CIS2 and CIS3 datasets
• Panel data capture the dynamics

Accounting for Innovation Performance A
Cross Regional Decomposition

• CIS3 8172 observations, 12 regions
• Sources of regional disparities in innovation in
  the UK inputs, outputs, productivity
• Link firm level data in CIS3 with regional level
  data, eg. regional RD in university, industry
  government, regional human capital, exports,
  imports, venture capital, etc.

Innovation in the UK, US and Other EU Countries
Evidence from Linked Survey Data

• Link CIS3 UK with CIS3 for other EU countries and
  the Cambridge-MIT Innovation Benchmarking project
  US/UK innovation survey.
• ? Aggregated EU CIS3 data
• ? Eurostat technical documents not in detail
  (treatment of missing values, some aggregation
  criteria, definition of some variables)
• ? US weights
