Do direct subsidies stimulate new R&D outputs in firms? A comparison of the IMPULS, TIP and ALFA programmes
Sidorkin, Oleg ; Srholec, Martin
This study compares output additionality effects of the IMPULS, TIP and ALFA programmes, which provided direct public support of R&D to business enterprises in the Czech Republic. Using a large and rich firm-level dataset we employ a non-parametric propensity score matching estimator to find out whether these subsidy programmes stimulated additional R&D output in terms of applications for formal intellectual property (IP) protection, such as patents of invention and utility models, which would not be produced, if the subsidy was not provided.
Do direct subsidies promote private R&D expenditure? Evidence from regression discontinuity design
Palguta, Ján ; Srholec, Martin
The aim of this study is to illustrate the evaluation of direct subsidies for business R&D expenditures using a regression discontinuity approach. We use data from the 3rd call for proposals in the ALFA programme of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic. Our analysis compares the growth rates of private R&D expenditures of subsidized and unsubsidized firms that ranked close to the threshold above subsidies were awarded.
