Firms ’ R & D Dilemma : to Undertake or Not to Undertake R & D
It is well known that in most industries a significant proportion of firms do not perform innovative activities. Although empirical studies on the determinants of R&D often have taken this fact into account by considering the dependent variable as a censured one, there is not an explicit theoretical model to explain the zeros. The concern of this letter is to discuss a simple theoretical model ...
متن کاملDo Firms Undertake Self-Tender Offers to Optimize Capital Structure?*
Companies occasionally announce that they undertake self-tender offers to optimize their capital structure. For example, in January 1997, James M.

Further, the an...
متن کاملThe determinants of firms’ PhD recruitment to undertake R&D activities
We have analysed the determinant factors which condition firms’ employment of PhDs to undertake R&D activities. It has been traditionally thought that doctorate holders are employed only to generate and absorb scientific knowledge; nonetheless, our study has also revealed that there are additional reasons to employ PhD graduates. We have used an upstream–downstream approach of the innovation pr...

متن کاملRD-flatness and RD-injectivity
It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are Σ-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian (respectively simple) module is RD-injective, is given. These results can be obtained by using the properties of RD-flat modules and RD-coflat modules which are respectively th...
