The survey data used in this paper are confidential. They are the property of the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), Mannheim (Germany), and Statistics Finland (Helsinki, Finland). Therefore, we cannot provide the data for the JAE archive. The German data are held at the ZEW Mannheim (www.zew.de) and are known as "Mannheim Innovation Panel". We only use a single wave of this data, the wave of 2001 (which was the German part of the "Community Innovation Survey III"). Interested researchers can obtain a public use file at no cost from ZEW; contact person as of June 2007: Sandra Gottschalk, Dept. of Industrial Economics, E-Mail: gottschalk@zew.de The public use file is an anonymized and slightly manipulated database. If researchers want to use the original data, they can make an appointment at ZEW to use the data in their premises. The Finnish edition of the the "Community Innovation Survey III" data is held at Statistics Finlands research laboratory. The research laboratory also offers patent data, which can be matched to the firm level innovation data. For research purposes it can be accessed through the research laboratory located at the premises of Statistics Finland at Työpajakatu 13, Helsinki, Finlnand. Prior arrangements are required to access the data. Please contact the Register Office of Statistics Finland, FIN-00022, Finland.
