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 shows for a large sample of R&D-active manufacturing firms that collaborative R&D has a positive effect on firms' patenting in terms of both quantity and quality. When distinguishing between alliances that aim at joint creation of new knowledge and alliances that aim at exchange of...

We analyze financial constraints for Ramp;D, where we account for heterogeneity among investments which has been neglected in previous literature. According to economic theory, investments should be distinguished by their degree of uncertainty, e.g. routine Ramp;D versus cutting-edge Ramp;D....

Information about the success of a new technology is usually held asymmetrically between the research and development (R&D)-performing firm and potential lenders and investors. This raises the cost of capital for financing R&D externally, resulting in financing constraints on R&D especially for...

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...
