Abstract

ABSTRACT We examine how the amount of public R&D support to enterprises in different R&D sectors is related to the mix of types of aid and policy agencies. The question we ask is whether this amount increases or decreases with the number of types of aid and policy agencies in each sector. We use panel data on the amount of support received by Norwegian enterprises in the following four R&D sectors: the higher education sector, the institute sector, the health trusts, and the industrial sector. GMM regressions show that the amount of support is positively related to the number of policy agencies in all four sectors, and positively related to the number of types of aid in the industrial sector (the relationship is non-significant in each of the other three sectors). The estimation results therefore indicate that the amount of public R&D support increases in one of the R&D sectors (the industrial sector) when enterprises benefit from an increasing number of different types of aid, and increases in all sectors when enterprises benefit from an increasing number of different policy agencies.

政府对四类研发领域企业的研发支持:援助类型与政策机构的组合

摘要：我们研究了对不同研发部门企业的公共研发支持金额与援助类型和政策机构的组合之间的关系。我们要问的问题是，这一数额是随着每个部门援助类型和政策机构的数量而增加还是减少。我们使用了挪威企业在以下四个研发部门获得的支持量的面板数据：高等教育部门、研究所部门、健康信托基金和工业部门。GMM回归显示，支持数量与所有四个部门的政策机构数量呈正相关，与工业部门的援助类型数量呈正相关（其他三个部门的关系均不显著）。因此，估计结果表明，当企业从越来越多的不同类型的援助中受益时，其中一个研发部门（工业部门）的公共研发支持量会增加，当企业受益于越来越多的政策机构时，所有部门的公共研发支助量都会增加。

期刊介绍： International Review of Applied Economics is devoted to the practical applications of economic ideas. Applied economics is widely interpreted to embrace empirical work and the application of economics to the evaluation and development of economic policies. The interaction between empirical work and economic policy is an important feature of the journal. The Journal is peer reviewed and international in scope. Articles that draw lessons from the experience of one country for the benefit of others, or that seek to make cross-country comparisons are particularly welcomed. Contributions which discuss policy issues from theoretical positions neglected in other journals are also encouraged.
