Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the factors that influence research investment in the Mediterranean region. We used a robust fixed effects model to analysis a panel of 22 countries for the period 2000-2012. The results showed that the FDI, the high technology export, the human capital devoted to research, intermediate and final production sectors, are significant and stimulate the Southern innovative capacity. The private R&D is a substitution to public R&D. The private returns exceed its social returns to R&D since Southern governments don’t invest too much like private firms in the innovative activities. The role of foreign institutions and international organizations is almost nonexistent in financing the southern research investments. The salaries don’t motivate the researchers and Scientifics since it has a negative effect on the R&D. The imports, the active population, the inflation, the technology infrastructure, the patent production have no effective contributions to the investment in the R&D in the Southern Mediterranean countries.
为什么南地中海国家不能创新
本文旨在分析影响地中海地区科研投入的因素。我们使用稳健的固定效应模型来分析2000-2012年期间22个国家的面板。结果表明,外国直接投资、高技术出口、用于研究、中间和最终生产部门的人力资本显著地刺激了南方的创新能力。私人研发是公共研发的替代。由于南方政府不像私营企业那样在创新活动中投入太多,因此私人在研发方面的回报超过了社会回报。外国机构和国际组织在资助南方研究投资方面几乎不存在作用。工资不能激励研究人员和科学家,因为它对研发有负面影响。进口、活跃人口、通货膨胀、技术基础设施、专利生产对南地中海国家的研发投资没有有效贡献。
