R&D investment and financing constraints of small and medium-sized firms

Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Binz, Hanna L. (contributor) - 2008

This study tests for financial constraints on R&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 R&D than...

Do spillovers stimulate incremental or drastic product innovations? : Hypotheses and evidence from German establishment data

Jirjahn, Uwe (contributor); Kraft, Kornelius (contributor) - 2006

We estimate the determinants of various types of product innovation. Knowledge spillovers from rivals have a positive impact on incremental innovations. This impact is largely independent of the participation in R&D cooperations. Spillovers exert no such independent influence on drastic...

Previous literature provided evidence on financing constraints for investment in R&D activities due to capital market imperfections and special features of R&D investments. Moreover, it has been shown that a shift in capital structure towards more debt, results in a reduction of R&D investments....
