Abstract

In France, the changing role of higher education and research establishments (ESR) since the 2000s calls for a closer scrutiny of their real impact on regional economic development. We analyze the effects of technology transfer policies in France, which are directly inspired by American public research policies (Bayh-Dole Act of 1980). We seek to determine whether these policies are beneficial to the local economic environment or not. The number of patents filed between 2000 and 2012 in French departments is used as a proxy for local innovation. We demonstrate that technology transfer policies are not sufficient instruments to foster local innovation based on research carried out within ESR establishments. These results are similar to those obtained in the United States and Germany.
