affect investments in innovation projects as such projects are typically characterized by a high degree of uncertainty …, complexity and specificity. Financing innovation externally is thus likely to be more costly compared to financing of other … investment. Hence, internal sources of financing are crucial for the implementation of innovation projects. However, internal …

This study tests for financial constraints on Ramp;D investment and how they differ from capital investment. To identify constraints in the access to external capital, we employ a credit rating index. Our models show that internal constraints, measured by mark-ups, are more decisive for Ramp;D...
