Green Innovation and Multinational Affiliation: Evidence From the Indian Manufacturing Sector
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is widely acknowledged as a critical driver of green innovation in developing countries. Building on the natural‐resource‐based view by aligning it with FDI literature, this study examines the relationship between multinational enterprise (MNE) affiliation and green innovation in India's manufacturing sector from 2001 to 2023, particularly focusing on the extent of ownership threshold and on knowledge stock as a mo…
Identification of Star Firms and Decoding Investment in Intangibles: Evidence from the Indian Manufacturing Industry
This paper explores the star firms’ phenomenon focusing on changing structure of investment dynamism in Indian manufacturing industries. Analysing firm-level information from CMIE prowess database for the period 2000 to 2023, this study investigates the emergence of star (superstar) firms and presents a comparative analysis highlighting intangible expenditure and intangible assets. We find that star firms are intangible-intensive relative to non-…
From Patent Filing to Market Success: Assessing the Commercialization Gap in Indian Startups
Startups contribute to economic growth through the process of creative destruction. For startups, this article highlights the importance of intellectual property rights (IPRs), particularly patents, in facilitating value capture and securing competitive advantage. Through a novel dataset of Form-27 disclosures by Indian startups, the study identifies the trends of patent working as well as reasons for non-working. The findings reveal that the tec…
Innovation Drivers for Emerging Economies: Evidence of Dual Transition in Bangladesh
This study applies the knowledge production function framework to examine the influence of supply- and demand-side factors on firm-level innovation in Bangladesh, using firm-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey. The result of a logistic regression model reveals that management practice, Information and Communication Technologies adoption, environmentally responsible behaviour and standardization significantly increase the likelihood o…
Advancing circular economy performance through blockchain adoption: A study using institutional and resource-based frameworks
Circular economy (CE) and blockchain technology (BCT) are emerging concepts that can impact the performance of firms. The transition to a CE is a requirement for organizations to achieve sustainable development and reduce carbon footprints. This study empirically validated the adoption of BCT for improving the CE performance through institution and resource-based theories. The data is collected from the 307 respondents who are employees working i…
Digital Transformation in Higher Education: Analysis of Student Learning Outcomes
Digitalization has significantly transformed higher education, influencing teaching methodologies, learning experiences, and institutional operations. The integration of digital technologies into academic settings has led to increased accessibility, flexibility, and innovation in both curriculum design and delivery. This shift is not only reshaping how students engage with content but also how educators approach instruction, fostering a more pers…
Determinants of Life Expectancy at Birth: A Panel Data Study of Low-Middle Income Countries of Asia
The objective of this investigation is to ascertain the impact of a variety of socioeconomic determinants on life expectancy in 18 low-income countries in Asia from 2005 to 2021. The coefficients were determined using the panel corrected standard errors and feasible generalised least square method. Life expectancy is significantly influenced by mortality due to non-communicable diseases, neonatal mortality rate, fertility rate, and availability o…
Non-resident patents, and knowledge spillovers: Citation-based analysis for Indian firms
This study investigates the impact of foreign patents on knowledge spillovers to domestic firms in India using patent citation data. It analyses a panel dataset of 250 Indian firms and 5309 patents granted by the U.S. Patent Office to Indian assignees between 1990 and 2016. The findings reveal a positive relationship between foreign patenting and knowledge flows from foreign patents to domestic firms. However, the study does not find any signific…
Financial Inclusion in Rural India: A Bank Group Wise Analysis
The study aims to construct a financial inclusion index for rural areas to make a bank group-wise comparative analysis of rural financial inclusion. The data is taken at four data points: 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2019. The scope of the study is confined to scheduled commercial banks. The construction of financial inclusion index is based on three fundamental elements of banking penetration, accessibility of banking services, and utilisation of the b…
Does Innovation Spur Export Performance across Countries? An Investigation from Meta-regression Analysis
Innovation plays a major role in determining exports of a country by strengthening domestic industries. The narratives of innovation and exports are important for national competitiveness. Therefore, this study, utilizing a meta-regression analysis, examines the impact of innovation on export performances. We conduct a meta-analysis from 27 empirical studies that contain 249 estimates undertaken during 1996–2019 with an aim to test whether the re…
Technological Innovations and Market Power: A Study of Indian Pharmaceutical Industry
Technological innovations are positively associated with firms’ market performance. This study aims to examine the impact of product and process innovation on the market power of 168 Indian pharmaceutical firms during 2000–2013. We generate product and process patent stock to capture firm-level innovation activities. Findings of this study suggest that both product and process innovation positively influence firms’ market power. Results also reve…
Determinants of patent survival in emerging economies: Evidence from residential patents in India
Over the period of time, patent filing in India has gone up significantly. However, no enough evidence is found in the literature about the quality or value of patented invention in the Indian context. To assess this question, we examine the patent renewal length (survival of patent) as a proxy of patent value for five different technology classes. This study uses the renewal information of firm‐level patents applied during January 1, 1995, and D…
Technological innovations and firms’ productivity in new patent regime: Evidences from Indian pharmaceutical industry
Innovative firms enjoy more market benefits by conducting both technological (product and process) and nontechnological (organizational and marketing) innovations. This study aims to examine the relationship between technological innovations and firms’ productivity in Indian pharmaceutical industry in new patent regime. In particular, we analyze the direct impact of product and process innovation on the productivity of 168 Indian pharmaceutical f…
Effectiveness of fiscal incentives for innovation: Evidence from meta‐regression analysis
This article examines the microeconometric evidence on the impact of government support for R&D and innovation. Our meta‐regression analysis uses a dataset of empirical evidence on the effects of government R&D policies on innovation and investigates the factors that may explain the differences in the estimated effects. The meta‐analysis is structured to include both the direct and indirect government support for R&D and innovation. The estimated…
Impact of patent rights on innovation: A meta‐analysis
Research shows that the enforcement of patent rights (PRs) play a significant role in countries' innovation and technological development. The existing narrative reviews find that the impact of PRs on innovation is not clear across countries. Therefore, this study examines the impact of patent rights protection on innovation across countries by conducting a meta‐analysis from 14 empirical studies that contain 145 estimates, undertaken during 1996…
