Co-ownership of intellectual property: exploring the value creation and appropriation implications of co-patenting

Abstract

The results indicate that financial ratios of SMEs differ between industries. Industry, measured by the weight-of-evidence (WoE), is a significant variable in default prediction of SMEs. Rating models designed for a specific industry (trade, service, or manufacturing) contain other variables and/or variables have other weights than for a generic PD model. Industry specific default prediction models perform slightly better than the generic model with industry effects, except for the service industry, where the industry specific model considerably outperforms the generic PD model.
