Abstract

Abstract Investment in research and development (R&D) plays a vital role in economic growth. Therefore, the crucial role of government is to encourage companies to develop new knowledge, skills, and innovations in order to achieve greater competitiveness, employment creation, and economic development. The aim of this paper is to determine whether R&D subsidies contribute to corporate performance and ascertain whether the relationship between the amount of R&D subsidies and corporate performance is moderated by Slovenian cohesion (NUTS 2 level) and statistical (NUTS 3 level) regions. This paper ultimately tries to classify statistical regions within meaningful groups. Using an OLS regression, a unique dataset of 407 Slovenian companies is analysed for 2014. The empirical results reveal that R&D subsidies have a positive impact on corporate performance and confirm that cohesion and statistical regions can moderate the effect of R&D subsidy on corporate performance. Moreover, the paper provides for the classification of Slovenian statistical regions into four groups.
斯洛文尼亚研发补贴对企业绩效的推动作用:区域视角
摘要研发投资在经济增长中起着至关重要的作用。因此,政府的关键作用是鼓励公司开发新的知识、技能和创新,以实现更大的竞争力、创造就业机会和经济发展。本文的目的是确定研发补贴是否对企业绩效有贡献,并确定研发补贴金额与企业绩效之间的关系是否受到斯洛文尼亚凝聚力(NUTS 2水平)和统计性(NUTS 3水平)区域的调节。本文最终试图在有意义的群体内对统计区域进行分类。使用OLS回归,对2014年407家斯洛文尼亚公司的独特数据集进行了分析。实证结果表明,R&D补贴对企业绩效具有正向影响,并证实了凝聚力和统计区域可以调节R&D补贴对企业绩效的影响。此外,本文还规定将斯洛文尼亚的统计区域划分为四组。
