    Abstract: We study knowledge spillovers from European universities and other research organizations using data from patent citations at the EPO. Using matching techniques to construct a sample of control patents, we show that the probability to cite a university patent declines with distance. In particular, we fi nd a sharp cut-o ff at around 25 kilometers. For longer distances the probability to cite a university patent is more or less constant. For other research organizations we find no evidence that distance plays a role. Country borders are shown to play an important role in restricting the diff usion of patents of both universities and other research organizations. These results are in line with recent literature for the U.S. and suggest that knowledge spillovers and tacit knowledge are important when using knowledge embodied in university patents.

    Abstract: Article considers methodological aspects of accounting and reflection in the system of macroeconomic indicators of transactions related to the turnover of intellectual property products in the national economy.The main provisions of international standards and recommendations of international organizations in the field of methodology for accounting for intellectual property products (UN, OECD, Eurostat, etc.) are systematized. Modern methods for constructing cost estimates for intellectual property products are presented, recommendations on the use of promising foreign developments in the field of accounting for components of intellectual property products are developed.

    Abstract: Innovation is a condition for the survival of businesses, companies, territories and nations. This entry builds on the concept of "open innovation" to review a number of key aspects of the innovation issue. This metaphor is used to try to report on the major contemporary openings made by experts in "innovation studies", and in so doing, a number of important concepts in this field are reviewed. The openings in question concern not only the modalities of organization and implementation of innovation as implied by the concept of open innovation but also the content and forms of innovation as well as the sectors that engage in these activities.
