DESCRIPTION:Olov Isaksson\, PhD Student\n"Knowledge Spillovers in the Supp
 ly Chain - Evidence from the High Tech Sectors”\nAuthors:  Olov H. D. I
 saksson\, Ralf W. Seifert\, Markus SimethDiscussant: Stefano H. Baruffaldi
 Abstract:\nThis paper explores knowledge spillovers in the supply chain by
  building on the theories of organizational learning. Drawing on a financi
 al accounting standard stipulating the disclosure of major customers\, we 
 are able to link buyers and suppliers. This information is merged with fin
 ancial accounting data\, patent data and publication data to create a samp
 le of 974 buyer-supplier dyad observations. The sample contains firms in t
 he high tech industries\, between the years 1990 to 2003. Using fixed effe
 cts estimation we show that a 1% increase in patent intensity at the buyer
 \, on average leads to a 1% increase in patent intensity at the supplier. 
 We find that the duration of the buyer-supplier relationship positively mo
 derates this effect. The supplier's sales dependency on the buyer and the 
 technological proximity of the two firms\, however\, are not found to have
  significant moderating effects. We close by discussing the implications o
 f our findings for individual firms\, theory and policy makers.
