Abstract

Abstract This paper answers calls for a better understanding of the importance of domestic collaboration networks for innovation in immigrant- and native-owned firms. With a specific focus on the domestic networks established with other firms, research institutions, and business associations, we question whether cultivating such social capital with diverse actors is linked to better innovation performances for immigrant-owned firms. We investigate this research question by exploiting a unique matched-pair sample of immigrant and native domestic entrepreneurs who are active in high-tech mainstream (non-ethnic) markets. Our results show that universities and research institutions, along with business associations, are more important for innovation in immigrant-owned firms. In addition, we discover that immigrant entrepreneurs' acculturation to the host country's culture acts as a substitute for interactions with business associations. These findings contribute to the academic and policy knowledge on the link between immigrant entrepreneurship and innovation in developed countries.

合作网络在移民拥有的新技术公司创新中的作用
本文回应了人们对国内合作网络对移民和本土企业创新的重要性的更好理解。通过特别关注与其他公司、研究机构和商业协会建立的国内网络,我们质疑与不同参与者培养这种社会资本是否与移民拥有的公司更好的创新绩效有关。我们利用一个独特的配对样本来研究这一研究问题,该样本由活跃于高科技主流(非种族)市场的移民和本土企业家组成。我们的研究结果表明,大学和研究机构以及商业协会对移民拥有的公司的创新更重要。此外,我们发现移民企业家对东道国文化的文化适应替代了与商业协会的互动。这些发现有助于对发达国家移民创业与创新之间联系的学术和政策认识。
