Geração de tecnologia em universidades/institutos de pesquisa e a importância da interação com empresas: constatações através da base de dados dos grupos de pesquisa do CNPq.

Abstract

The present work aims to study the relationship among technology created in universities and research institutes and their interactions with firms through available data from CNPq’s Research Groups Directory. Using a panel data model with information from the five censuses available in base, we can highlight, among another results, a highly significant and positive relationship between technology generation and interaction between agents, and the different magnitudes and direction of influence for different types of relationships, besides the positive correlation between technology generation and publications and scale of the research groups.
