Royalty Sharing and Technology Licensing in Universities
基于102所美国大学的数据，发现专利费分享安排差异很大，且与多数大学特征无关，但更高的发明人分享比例与更高的许可收入相关，说明金钱激励在大学部门有实际效果。
Using data for 102 U.S. universities, we show that royalty-sharing arrangements (cash flow rights) vary substantially across universities and that they are largely unrelated to most observed university characteristics including faculty size, quality, research funding, technology mix of the faculty, and size of the technology licensing office. However, higher inventors' royalty shares are associated with higher licensing income at the university, controlling for other factors. The results suggest that monetary incentives from inventions have real effects in the university sector.
