Drawing on the theory of investment under uncertainty, this paper argues that public R&D subsidies increase business … R&D investment through an additional mechanism – mitigating the effects of market uncertainty on R&D investment in … markets for new products.

This paper investigates how competition and firm size affect the relationship between market uncertainty and R …&D investment. We use an intuitively appealing measure of firm-specific uncertainty along with panel data to show that firms invest … less in current R&D as uncertainty about market returns increases.

With a one standard … deviation in the policy uncertainty of the home country, relative to the possible destination countries, the rate of inventor … emigration increases by nearly 40%.
