Narrow Results

The aim of this paper is to better understand whether cooperation, absorptive capacity and public financial support for innovation activities, how they influence the innovative performance of Portuguese enterprise. The literature review focuses the importance of these three factors both drivers as the limiters process of business innovation, influencing the innovative performance of enterprise. Based on a review of the literature, hypotheses are formulated, which are tested with secondary data resources from the Community Innovation Survey 2010. This questionnaire was implemented under the supervision of EUROSTAT. The method used is the logistic regression model. The results obtained confirm that the implementation of cooperation with partners belonging to internal sources of business has a significant influence on the innovations achieved at the level of both products and processes.

This study explores the productivity growth effects of horizontal, backward, and forward FDI spillovers in the Türkiye manufacturing sector using industry-level data for the period 2008–2018. While controlling for capital intensity and human capital as proxies for the absorption capacity, we apply system GMM and bootstrapped LSDV estimator to estimate the models. Our findings reveal that backward linkages significantly hamper industrial productivity due to the rudimentary nature of the products in the downstream sector or lack of absorption capacity. While horizontal spillovers retard the productivity growth; forward linkages enhance the growth, though all insignificant. The results depict that all the interactions with capital intensity strongly promote industrial productivity growth.
