- PublicationPatent Boxes and the Success Rate of Applications(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2021-04-21)
; ; Patent boxes significantly reduce the corporate tax rate applied to income earned from a patent. This incentivizes firms to increase the likelihood of a patent application being granted by creating more novel research and using more successful legal representation when filing the application. Conversely, it supports submitting applications for marginally novel innovations that otherwise would not have been submitted, lowering the probability of success. We use data from applications to the European Patent Office from 1978 to 2019 and find that the introduction of a patent box increases the average success rate of applications from large, corporate innovators by 6.9 percentage points. This impact only materializes two years after a patent box takes effect, suggesting that improved research effort is the dominant response by firms. Therefore patent boxes may help to increase innovation novelty and improve the overall quality of research.112 - PublicationNew Cooperation and Novel Innovations: The Role of Regional Brokerage and Collaboration Intensity(University College Dublin. Spatial Dynamics Lab, 2021-02-04)
; ; Along with the increased importance of technology innovation, the importance of collaboration has been highlighted for conducting the innovation. This study discusses the importance of brokerage role of regions in co-inventor collaboration for establishing novel innovation and new collaboration. In addition, we address how regional collaboration intensity interacts with the brokerage role, highlighting its mediating effect. For this purpose, empirical analysis has been conducted with EPO PATSTAT database and European Regional Database (ERD) covering the European regions between 1986 and 2015. Our finding shows that the brokerage roles contribute to the extension of collaboration network, but are not efficient for the creation of new invention. Collaboration intensity, however, helps both novel innovation and new collaboration, and especially it positively interacts with brokerage role indicating that a region can take the benefit from being broker in collaboration.133 - PublicationHops, Skip & a Jump: The Regional Uniqueness of Beer Styles(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2020-12)
; ; ; Perhaps more than any other product, beer evokes the place it was made. Weißbier and Germany, dubbels and Belgium, and most of all, Guinness and Ireland. Part of what makes these beers so memorable is what sets them apart and gives them their ‘taste of place’. Many studies have tried to place that taste, and due to a lack of detailed data, have relied largely on qualitative methods to do so. We introduce a novel data set of regionalized beer recipes, styles, and ingredients collected from a homebrewing website. We then turn to the methods of evolutionary economic geography to create regional ingredient networks for recipes within a style of beer, and identify which ingredients are most important to certain styles. Along with identifying these keystone ingredients, we calculate a style’s resiliency or reliance on one particular ingredient. We compare this resiliency within similar styles in different regions and across different styles in the same region to isolate the effects of region on ingredient choice. We find that while almost all beer styles have only a handful of key ingredients, some styles are more resilient than others due to readily available substitute ingredients in their region.105 - PublicationSuccessful Economic Diversifications: Implications for Refining Smart Specialisation Strategies in Less Developed Regions(University College Dublin. Spatial Dynamics Lab, 2019-07-01)
; Related and unrelated diversification take ample space in scientific and political debates. Against the backdrop of refining smart specialisations strategies, this paper identifies diversification patterns towards the highest income growth in less developed areas in 1931–2000. It is argued that both related and unrelated (in longer-term) diversifications are fundamental for evolutionary growth of less developed regions, however, only the former process has been confirmed in the analyses. Both related variety of industries and expertise in 1931 also point to successful diversification. The implications for theories of Evolutionary Economic Geography and regional policy actions in less developed regions are discussed.210 - PublicationCapturing Information on Technology Convergence, International Collaboration, and Knowledge Flow from Patent Document: A Case of Information and Communication Technology(University College Dublin. Spatial Dynamics Lab, 2018-09-01)
; ; Recent advances in data-driven research approaches offer new and exciting perspectives and insights across a spectrum scientific fields concerned with technological change and the socio-economic impact thereof, while also providing the opportunity to address persistent gaps in existing theories. The present investigation suggests a novel approach to identify and analyse the evolution of technology sectors, in this case Information and Communications Technology (ICT), considering international collaboration patterns and knowledge flows and spillovers via information inputs derived from patent documents. The objective is to utilize and explore information regarding inventors’ geo-location, technology sector classifications, and patent citation records to construct various types of networks. This, in turn, will open up avenues to discover the nature of evolutionary pathways in ICT technology trajectories, and also provide evidence of how the overall ICT knowledge space, as well as directional knowledge flows within the ICT space, evolved differently. It is expected that this data-driven inquiry will deliver intuitive results for decision makers seeking evidence for future resource allocation and who are interested in identifying well-suited collaborators for the development of potential next-generation technologies. Further, it will equip researchers in technology management, economic geography, or similar fields with a systematic approach to analyse evolutionary pathways of technological advancements and further enable them to exploit existing and develop new theories regarding technological change and its socio-economic consequences.64 - PublicationOK Computer: The Creation and Integration of AI in Europe(University College Dublin School of Economics, 2019-05)
; ; ; This paper investigates the creation and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) patents in Europe. We create a panel of AI patents over time, mapping them into regions at the NUTS2 level. We then proceed by examining how AI is integrated into the knowledge space of each region. In particular, we find that those regions where AI is most embedded into the innovation landscape are also those where the number of AI patents is largest. This suggests that to increase AI innovation it may be necessary to integrate it with industrial development, a feature central to many recent AI-promoting policies.618 - PublicationCapturing information on technology convergence, international collaboration, and knowledge flow from patent documents: A case of information and communication technologyIn addressing persistent gaps in existing theories, recent advances in data-driven research approaches offer novel perspectives and exciting insights across a spectrum of scientific fields concerned with technological change and the socio-economic impact thereof.

Critically, this synthesis reaffirms the continued importance of geography as a palpable medium to organize economic activity. Making explicit use of the ‘knowledge space’ methodology developed by Kogler et al., (2013) this chapter examines the technological evolution of Ireland (1981 – 2010) and provides new insights on how regional knowledge trajectories are shaped by path-dependent, recombinant, and co-evolutionary network dynamics. For Ireland, we show that its technological development can be understood as a branching phenomenon, whereby new technological trajectories branched out from previously existing or related pieces of knowledge. The chapter concludes by theorising how the knowledge space framework has an important bearing on the recently proposed Smart Specialisation thesis, which is envisioned to underpin knowledge-based regional economic development throughout Europe for the coming decade.
