abstract = {This paper analyzes the determinants of R&D co-operation among German
manufacturing firms. Using firm level data from the Third Community Innovation
Survey from Germany, we focus on the role of spillovers in explaining R&D cooperation.
We also investigate firms? decisions to cooperate with research institutions
or with suppliers and customers. Implementing a two-step estimation
procedure, we find a positive effect of knowledge flows on the probability of
R&D co-operation in most model specifications. Additionally, we show that firms
with high intramural R&D budgets are more likely to cooperate with universities
and research institutions than with suppliers and customers.},
