DESCRIPTION:Prof. J. Peter Murmann\, UNSW\n"China’s New-to-the-world Inn
 ovation Performance and its Antecedents: Evidence from International Paten
 t Statistics"Abstract\nHow China performs in new-to-the-world innovations 
 and what underpins its performance are barely addressed in the literature 
 on innovations. To develop a systematic account of which Chinese sectors a
 re most innovative\, we analyse all patents granted by the European Patent
  Office to Chinese applicants since 1983. Controlling for the underlying p
 ropensity to patent in particular sectors\, we find that communication equ
 ipment manufacturing and electrical machinery manufacturing have become in
 creasingly innovative\, whereas machinery manufacturing and motor vehicle 
 manufacturing have seen their innovativeness decline. Perhaps somewhat sur
 prisingly\, manufacture of office machinery and computers has remained bel
 ow average for the entire period. 14 of the 30 sectors maintained an avera
 ge level of innovativeness\, while 9 sectors showed significant fluctuatio
 ns. To illuminate why certain sectors have superior new-to-the-world innov
 ation performance\, we also conduct econometric analyses of data on 24 sec
 tors between 2005 and 2007. In statistical terms\, we find that the new-to
 -the-world innovation performance of Chinese sectors has an inverted U-sha
 ped relationship with R&D personnel intensity and business Science & Techn
 ology (S&T) self-funding intensity. It displays a Ushaped relationship wit
 h the domestic patent stock intensity and government S&T funding intensity
 . Surprisingly\, a higher intensity of technology renovation expenditure i
 s associated with lower new-to-the-world innovation performance. In-house 
 R&D\, FDI\, export\, and firm-academic collaboration\, among many other pl
 ausible factors\, play no role.Keywords: New-to-the-world innovations\; Ch
