Abstract
This paper discusses the determinants of three alternative measures of innovative output by looking at firm's own formal RD however, both inputs increase a firm's innovative intensity. Significant evidence is also found that small firms and firms belonging to low-tech sectors rely more on the acquisition of external technologies and on cooperation agreements, while larger firms in high-tech sectors rely more on their own formal R&D.
