This dissertation bridges innovation economics and international trade to examine how innovation both emerges from and reshapes global value chains (GVCs). It advances our understanding of the dual role of innovation: as an outcome of participation in fragmented production networks and as a driver of…
This dissertation explores the process of knowledge and technology transfer from academia to industry, focusing on individual scientists. Chapter 1 introduces the topic, economic relevance, research objectives, and an overview of subsequent chapters. Chapters 2 to 4 present core findings of three research…
The positive effect of public research on industrial innovations is beyond controversy: public research institutions produce knowledge that is subsequently transferred into product and process innovations by private businesses. Besides this rather passive role in commercializing inventions, public research…

This dissertation contributes on assessing how knowledge spaces change over time and on which are the factors driving their development. Technologies in innovation literature are regarded as a collection of combined components. These components are represented in the network form through knowledge spaces.…
Der Energiesektor ermöglicht es uns, Geschäfte zu machen, Produkte herzustellen und eine bessere Lebensqualität zu genießen. Unser derzeitiges Energiesystem hängt jedoch stark von fossilen Brennstoffen ab. Derzeit stammen 85 % des weltweiten Energieverbrauchs aus fossilen Brennstoffen, was zwei große…
