Dynamically optimal R&D subsidization

Grossmann, Volker; Steger, Thomas; Trimborn, Timo - In: Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 37 (2013) 3, pp. 516-534

This paper characterizes the optimal time path of R&D and capital subsidization. Starting from the steady state under current R&D subsidization in the US, the R&D subsidy should significantly jump upwards and then slightly decrease over time. There is a small loss in welfare, however, from...

Optimal growth policy: The role of skill heterogeneity

Grossmann, Volker; Steger, Thomas M. - In: Economics Letters 119 (2013) 2, pp. 162-164

A simple semi-endogenous growth model is employed to show that optimal subsidization of both R&D and capital costs is independent of the distribution of R&D skills in the workforce. This holds despite the empirically supported fact that a higher R&D subsidy rate raises wages of R&D workers.
