in innovation, which often is an uncertain and long-term process. This
reduction did not occur equally for all firms, and recent literature has analysed
the characteristics of those firms which maintain or even raise their innovative
efforts during the crisis. Technological collaboration has been recognised as
one of the most important external sources that affects innovation
performance. However, how economic recession has changed the impact of
R&D collaboration on innovation performance has received few attention. This
paper investigates the effect of different external cooperation patterns of firms
before and during the last economic recession. We highlight the role of
geographical and organizational diversity of knowledge sources, as well as
the effect of past experience. We find that R&D cooperation has a stronger
effect on radical innovation performance during the economic recession than
before, this being true irrespectively of the geographical location of the
partners. This benefit from cooperation during the economic turmoil is higher
in the case of firms having a diverse portfolio of partners. In addition, we also
find that past experience in R&D cooperation positively affects innovation
performance during the crisis.
