Patents as quality signals? : the implications for financing constraints on R&D

Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hall, Bronwyn H.; Hottenrott, Hanna - 2014

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...
