In 2010, the Indian government declared 2010–2020 to be the ‘Decade of Innovation’ and established the State Innovation Councils and Sectoral Innovation Councils to encourage and facilitate innovation by technological firms. In this paper, we study the relationship between collaboration and innovation in a cross‐section of Indian firms, paying particular attention to the impact of the innovation councils. Our results suggest that domestic collaborations have an important impact on firm innovation, as do the innovation councils, but that the impact of the councils is less for firms that collaborate.

合作与创新：印度科技企业的实证研究

2010年，印度政府宣布2010-2020年为“创新十年”，并成立了国家创新委员会和部门创新委员会，以鼓励和促进科技公司的创新。在本文中，我们研究了印度公司各部门之间协作与创新之间的关系，并特别关注了创新委员会的影响。我们的结果表明，国内合作与创新委员会一样，对公司创新也具有重要影响，但理事会对合作公司的影响较小。
