ABSTRACT

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 a unique longitudinal and comprehensive dataset of university-industry collaboration in Brazil. The results show that research groups that collaborate over the long-term with industry have better scientific performance, revealing that long-term collaborations between university and firms have a positive effect on academic productivity.

摘要

本文分析了长期的产学合作对学术研究生产力的影响。实证研究表明，与行业合作如何影响科学生产力的证据不一，而且对协作的长期影响缺乏了解。本文使用巴西大学与行业合作的独特纵向和综合数据集来解决此缺陷。结果表明，与行业进行长期合作的研究小组具有更好的科学绩效，表明大学与企业之间的长期合作对学术生产力具有积极影响。
