The systematic review of academic studies on public policy measures in support of technology transfer presented by this article suggests a literature classification based on two dimensions: the type of policy measure analyzed, and the focus of the study (i.e., policy design vs. impact assessment). On the basis of this comprehensive review, we summarize the lessons learned thus far, identify research gaps that continue to limit insights into public policy measures for technology transfer, and highlight directions for further research.

The overall contribution of the present dissertation work refers to presenting an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the main critical issues that currently exist with regard to commercial exploitation of academic research, while providing evidence on the role of previously underexplored areas (e.g. strategic use of academic patents; female academic patenting) in a general debate on the ways to successful knowledge transfer from academia to industry. The first paper, included in the present PhD dissertation, aims to address this gap by developing a taxonomy of literature, based on a comprehensive review of the existing body of research on government measures in support of knowledge transfer from academia to industry. The results of the rev...

We explore whether the institutional ownership arrangements of university patent, as well as the presence of such university-level support measures as a technology transfer office (TTO) and IP policy has a positive effect on the female involvement in patenting. We test our hypotheses on a sample of 2538 academic patents produced by Italian inventors in the period of 1996-2007. The results of our research highlight a positive role of a university in addressing the gender gap in productivity and in commercial engagement within academia.
