Research overview
Marion's research interests include the measurement and the determinants of firms' innovation performance. Together with Prof Archibugi and Dr Filippetti she studies the effects of the recent financial crisis on innovation related investment, and together with Prof Ietto-Gillies the effects of cross-border knowledge flows on innovation. She recently contributed to a major international micro-data project launched in 2006 under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. As part of this project, and together with Dr Lambert, she developed typologies of innovation modes or routines, including non-technological modes, and studied the effects on performance and growth.
