Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this paper, I first examine the effect of revenue-based payment for employee inventors on inventive productivity using firm level micro data. Second, I investigate the relationship between education level and productivity among inventors. Lastly, I study how joint researches between large firm, SMEs and universities are conducted and who acquire the right of research outputs through joint research in fuel cell area.
