In particular, we estimate the impact that external sources of RD (2) the share of RD (3) the share of external R&D supplied by universities has a positive and significant effect on product innovation, but no correlation has been found with process innovation, while R&D acquired from other companies have a positive impact on process innovation but not on product innovation.
