 Innovation and technology transfer
IFS research in this area examines the determinants of Research and Development (R&D), innovation, and technology transfer, in the context of increased globalisation. We are interested in a range of topics such as the process of technology transfer from universities to businesses, between firms and across countries; the links between market and firm structure and innovation and between innovation and firms' performance; and the role of public policy towards innovation and technology transfer, including the effectiveness of the R&D tax credits.
We also consider the main determinants of firms' decisions over where to locate innovative activity and how the benefits from innovative activities vary when these activities are carried out in different geographical locations.  Centre for the Microeconomic Analysis of Public Policy (CPP)
Policies to promote innovation are on the policy agenda both in the UK and within the EU.
