Our main objective is to analyse if R&D collaborative agreements are persistent at the firm level, and in such a case, to study what are the main drivers of this phenomenon. R&D cooperation activities at the firm level can be persistent due to true state dependence, this implying that cooperating in a given period enhances the probability of doing it in the subsequent period and it can also be a consequence of firms’ individual heterogeneity, so that certain firms have certain characteristics that make them more likely to carry out technological alliances.36 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd, (c) Badillo Enciso et al., 2014http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/Recerca industrialDesenvolupament econòmicConvergència (Economia)Indicadors tecnològicsModels economètricsIndustrial researchEconomic developmentConvergence (Economics)Technology indicatorsEconometric modelsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper2014-05-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
