Abstract:
|
This study analyses the effectiveness of targeted public support for R&D
investment. In particular, we test whether the specific policy design aiming at
incentivizing (international) collaboration and R&D in small and mediumsized
firms achieves the desired objectives on input as well as output
additionality. Our results show that the targeted R&D subsidies accelerate
R&D spending in the private sector, and especially so in the targeted groups.
Further, we differentiate between privately financed R&D and subsidyinduced
R&D investment to evaluate their respective effects on innovation
performance. The results confirm that the induced R&D is productive as it
translates into marketable product innovations. While both types of R&D
investments trigger significant output effects, we find that the effect of
subsidy-induced R&D investment is higher for firms that collaborate
internationally as well as for SMEs.
