摘要
We examine the involvement of firms in scientific research and its implications for valuation in the context of the US semiconductor industry. We specifically compare design-oriented fabless firms to manufacturers. Whereas fabless firms produce more scientific publications over time, manufacturing firms are producing more science-based patents. Fabless firms enjoy a value premium when contributing to science, whereas manufacturing firms do not. We consider the different strategies pursued by fabless and manufacturing firms as potential explanation of these differences.
