The technological specialization of countries: an analysis of patent data

Lucio Picci, Luca Savorelli

    Research output: Working paper

    Abstract

    New methods of analysis of patent statistics allow assessing country profiles of technological specialization for the period 1990-2006. We witness a modest decrease in levels of specialization, which we show to be negatively influenced by country size and degree of internationalization of inventive activities.
