A longitudinal dataset of sector-level patent data for Europe

Description

This dataset contains information on patent applications and grants at the 2-digit ISIC Rev.4/NACE Rev.2 sector level for a set of 24 European countries from 1985 to 2020. The data are assigned to sectors by applying the Lybbert & Zolas (2014) weights of sector-technology field correspondence to European Patent Office (EPO) patent data retrieved from OECD. The dataset provides patent data based on the applicant’s and inventor’s country of residence, on an annual basis, in two formats: i) patent applications and grants (flows), and ii) patent applications’ and grants’ stocks, estimated through the perpetual inventory method (PIM) using a 15% deprecation rate. It was developed in the Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics of the National Technical University of Athens by Dr. D. Stamopoulos and Dr. P. Dimas under the supervision of Assistant Professor Aimilia Protogerou (principal investigator of GRinGVCs). The "Leveraging Global Value Chains for Innovation and Competitiveness: The Case of Greece" (GRinGVCs) project is carried out within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU (Implementation body: HFRI - Project Number: HFRI-016667).
