R&D and Development
The authors trace the evolution of research and development (R&D) expenditures along the development process using a new global panel data set. The first part shows that R&D effort measured as a share of GDP rises with development at an increasing rate. It then examines how four groups of countries from Latin America, Asia, advanced manufacturing exporters and advanced natural resource abundant countries fare relative to the predicted development trajectory.
Beyond the Silicon Valley: University R&D and High-Technology Location
The paper examines new high-tech establishments in U.S. counties, focusing on their relationship with university research and development. A conditional logit-Poisson model is used to estimate the determinates of business establishment births appearing from the mid 1990s through 2000.
Learning, Internal Research, and Spillovers: Evidence from a Sample of Industrial R&D Laboratories
The paper presents new evidence on the practice of industrial research and development (R&D), specifically the allocation between learning and internal research, and the role of outside knowledge, as represented by R&D spillovers in reshaping this allocation.
Influence of Federal Laboratory R&D
On Industrial Research
The paper studies the influence of research and development in the federal laboratory system Results are based on a sample of 220 industrial research laboratories that work with a variety of
federal laboratories and agencies and are owned by 115 firms in the chemicals, machinery, electrical equipment, and motor vehicles industries.
Homeland Security and Counter terrorism Research and Development: Funding, Organization and Oversight
The report finds that federal funding for research and development of counter terrorism has increased substantially following the Sept.11 attacks. The report reviews budget and coordination issues of the Department of Homeland Security.
Financing of Research and Development
The author surveys evidence on the "funding gap" for research and development (R&D). The focus is on financial market reasons for underinvestment in R&D that persist even in the absence of externality-induced underinvestment.
Fundamental R&D Spillovers and The Internationalization of A Firms Research Activities
The report proposes a conceptual framework for analyzing how differences in national research and development (R&D) stocks can impact a firms decision to internationalize its R&D activities. A central finding is that the integration of product markets can generate an added incentive to undertake R&D abroad.
Outsourcing of R&D Through Acquisitions in the Pharmaceutical Industry
The report examines the performance of acquirers of 160 biotechnology firms and finds evidence that generally, the acquirers realize significant positive returns, which is positively correlated with the acquirers access to information about the research and development activities.
Determinants of Firm R&D : Evidence from Swedish Firm Level Data
Using matched employer-employee longitudal data, the paper analyzes determinants of firm research and development (R&D), and in particular the impact of competition on R&D. Results indicate that competition is likely to contract from R&D expenditures.
Does R&D Cooperation Facilitate Price Collusion? An Experiment
A two-stage duopoly model with a research and development (R&D) stage and a technological spillovers and a pricing stage is used to examine the impact of R&D cooperation on prices in experimental duopoly markets. The report concludes that for both spillover levels, the prices are higher in periods where R&D contracts are committed to.
