Abstract
This study empirically analyzes how factors inside university influence the creation of technology-based spin-offs, employing unique data sets. We posit a two-year time lag between the explanatory variables and the dependent one using total 270 university data sets for 5 years in Korea. The results show that universities with experienced technology licensing offices (TLO), those with R&D personnel size, those in possession of incubation policies or business incubators have an edge in creating technology-based spin-offs. The findings provide policy implications. By making more informed decisions on fostering technology-based spin-offs at universities, policymakers can promote the creation of new industries and lead them to create jobs in line with the national economic growth policy.
