Mapping innovative activity using microdata

I discuss the determinants of three alternative measures of innovative output among firms of different size. Moreover, I provide an econometric procedure for testing a Tobit model (Tobin, 1958) against a two-part model. This procedure is alternative to Cragg's (1971) test and feasible for weighted survey data.
