The presentation aims at identifying the direct effects of governance directly on growth and indirectly on innovation, with the perspective of exploring whether these effects depend on the level of development of countries or not. His work is based on an estimation of simultaneous equation models for three country samples (49 heterogeneous countries, 18 developed countries, 31 developing countries) and for the period 1996-2014.
-“Le rôle des bureaux de transfert de technologie dans le transfert des connaissances : étude de cas multiples“, (Sana ELOUAER-MRIZAK, Enseignante -Chercheuse, Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale & Clersé).
The presentation aims at exploring two conceptions of technology transfer and knowledge: sequential vision vs systemic vision in a perspective of evaluating intermediate organisms: the BuTTs, and the evaluation of the efforts of industry to absorb knowledge provided by universities & research laboratories. The study is applied to the case of Tunisia.
