In the second half of the twentieth century, higher education institutions (ESR) were assigned “the third mission” with the expectation that they generate knowledge outside academic environments to the benefit of the social, cultural and economic development, especially in their local scope.

Nous analysons dans quelles mesures les politiques de transfert de technologie en France, inspirées des politiques en matière de recherche publique américaines, sont bénéfiques à l’environnement économique local. Le nombre de brevets déposés entre 2000 et 2012 dans les départements français est utilisé comme un proxy de l’innovation locale. Nous montrons que les politiques de transfert de technologie comme le Bayh-Dole Act de 1980 aux États-Unis ou la loi de 2002 en Allemagne ne sont pas des instruments suffisants pour favoriser l’innovation locale à partir de la recherche effectuée au sein des établissements de l’ESR.Cairn free access |
