Forms of extramural research acquisition and product innovation: Data from econometric estimations

This Data article provides a collection of Data and econometric estimates of the relationship between various forms of external research and Development (R&D) acquisition and product innovation. Specifically, the Data are elaborations on Eurostat (2015) and the EFIGE (2015) survey. Data relate t...
