| Description | In this paper we build on the above in analysing the impact of public sector innovation on private sector firms. More generally we are also concerned with the impact the public sector has on private sector innovation. Perhaps the most important issue is whether public sector innovation, or lack of it, impacts upon private sector firms. But we will also be concerned with the extent perceptions of innovation across jurisdictions and also the characteristics of firms who benefit from public sector innovation. There is a particular focus on the role of the Internet. In doing this we make use of Eurobarometer data on firms and their attitudes to public sector innovation. The paper proceeds as follows; in the next section we present the data. In the penultimate section we present the results of our analysis and finally we conclude the paper. |
