This paper uses an original and detailed dataset (managed by the BETA for the French Ministry of Education and Research) which collects two comprehensive surveys on French universities’ TTOs to shed light on the functioning of French TTOs. The sample is made by various inputs and outputs of around 80 French university TTOs over the period 2000-2005. The dataset includes revenue from R&D contracts, university revenue from basic research, number of TTO’s technical personnel specialized in R&D contracts and, annual budget of TTOs. The main contribution of the paper is then to assess quantitatively and in a rigorous way the performance of French TTOs, by using a bootstrap-based non parametric approach (for details see Daraio and Simar, 2007). The issue is of high policy relevance and well recognized by policymakers and university managers as one of the engines of economic growth.

Abstract
This paper uses an original and detailed dataset (managed by the BETA for the French Ministry of Education and Research) which collects two comprehensive surveys on French universities’ TTOs to shed light on the functioning of French TTOs. The sample is made by various inputs and outputs of around 80 French university TTOs over the period 2000-2005. The dataset includes revenue from R&D contracts, university revenue from basic research, number of TTO’s technical personnel specialized in R&D contracts and, annual budget of TTOs. The main contribution of the paper is then to assess quantitatively and in a rigorous way the performance of French TTOs, by using a bootstrap-based non parametric approach (for details see Daraio and Simar, 2007). The issue is of high policy relevance and well recognized by policymakers and university managers as one of the engines of economic growth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
