R & D - Induced Growth in the OECD ?

نویسنده

  • Marios Zachariadis
چکیده

1 Abstract I use aggregate and industry-level data for a group of OECD countries for the period 1973 to 1991 to estimate a system implied by a model of R&Dinduced growth that relates R&D intensity, productivity, and output growth. I find evidence of positive long-run impact of R&D intensity on productivity and, ultimately, on the growth rate of output. The null hypothesis that growth is not induced by R&D is therefore rejected for this group of OECD countries. The estimation of the theoretically implied system of equations is more efficient and provides stronger results than the traditional estimation of individual equations in the microeconomic R&D literature. The results become stronger when using aggregate-level data suggesting spillovers from aggregate R&D.

Mapping the Two Faces of R&D: Productivity Growth in a Panel of OECD Industries

Many writers have claimed that research and development (R&D) has two faces. In addition to the conventional role of stimulating innovation, R&D enhances technology transfer (absorptive capacity). We explore this idea empirically using a panel of industries across twelve OECD countries. We find R&D to be statistically and economically important in both technological catch-up and innovation. Hum...
