Résumé

L'innovation est devenue un facteur clé de la croissance économique. La question des incitations à l'innovation au sein des entreprises est donc primordiale. Dans ce papier, nous nous intéressons au type d'incitations monétaires reçues par les inventeurs au sein des entreprises avec une attention particulière à la mobilité inter-entreprise de ces derniers. Les résultats montrent un rendement salarial positif pour les inventeurs, celui-ci est plus important pour les inventeurs ayant connu une mobilité inter-entreprise, ce qui pourrait suggérer que les entreprises sont prêtes à payer les connaissances acquises par les inventeurs au sein des autres entreprises. Par contre, l'utilisation de stock-options comme incitation pour les inventeurs semble moins répandue dans les entreprises françaises que dans les entreprises étrangères.

Summary

Summary

Innovation has become a key factor for economic growth. The issue of incentives as to boost innovation within firms is thus essential. In this paper, we are interested to discriminate the type of monetary incentives received by the inventors in firms; with particular attention to inter-firm mobility of the professional. The results show a significant positive wage premium for the inventors, this one is more important for inventors who have experienced past mobility events, which might suggest that firms are willing to pay the specific knowledge gained by the inventors before in other firms. Additionally we show that incentive stock options for inventors seem less common in firms located in France than abroad.
