Sumario:The process of firms??? growth??? in terms of productivity or employment??? is a major concern of policy makers. In this context, innovations are considered to play a crucial role in stimulating firms??? performance. This book investigates this general hypothesis by looking at three topics: 1.

Based on a comprehensive innovation panel dataset for German firms, this book presents detailed results for each.
