Abstract
Using data from the Spanish Survey of Technological Innovation, the paper analyzes differences between services and manufacturing regarding the impact of R&D cooperation on firms' innovative productivity, depending on the geographical location of the partners. Additionally, it examines differences between the services' categories of the Miozzi and Soete (2001) taxonomy. Results indicate that industrial innovative activity mostly depends on R&D investments, while innovative cooperation is crucial for services. Services innovation benefits mainly from cooperation with international partners, while local cooperation is more effective for manufacturing. In relation to the different services' categories, intensive scale and information services show similar patterns to those of manufacturing.
