This article studies the role of research orientation for attracting research grants at higher education institutions in Germany. Traditionally research activities were funded by the institutions' core budget. More recently, extramural research funding has become increasingly important. Besides...

This study analyses the effectiveness of targeted public support for R&D investment. In particular, we test whether the specific policy design aiming at incentivizing (international) collaboration and R&D in small and medium-sized firms achieves the desired objectives on input as well as output...
