The “Incentive Subsidy” for Government Support of Private R&D
Fölster, Stefan - 1987
An 'incentive subsidy' policy for subsidizing private R & D is proposed that can be more efficient, from a social point of view, than subsidy policies in common use such as a 'normal' subsidy policy (fixed amount granted at project start), and conditional loans (loan is repaid only if project is...

R&D networks: Theory, empirics and policy implications
König, Michael D.; Liu, Xiaodong; Zenou, Yves - 2014

Industrial policy and firm heterogeneity
Barros, Pedro P.; Nilssen, Tore - 1999
Our concern is with a firm-specific industrial policy. When R&D subsidies or taxes are differentiated among firms, the question arises which firms in an industry should receive such support. We analyze a situation where firms differ in their R&D technologies in two distinct ways: They differ...

Industry funding of university research and scientific productivity
Hottenrott, Hanna; Thorwarth, Susanne - 2010
University research provides valuable inputs to industrial innovation. It is therefore not surprising that private sector firms increasingly seek direct access through funding public R&D. This development, however, spurred concerns about possible negative long-run effects on scientific...
