Resumo

This paper explores the relationship between regional patterns of university technological diversification/specialization in Europe and its effects on the production of new university technological outcomes as measured by patent counts. Our dataset contains 4,580 university-owned patents related to 202 regions of European Union-15 for the period from 1998 to 2004. Several econometric specifications reveal that a diversification strategy in the production of university technological knowledge favours the generation of subsequent new university patents. Specialization has a positive and significant effect in high-technology sectors.
