In this paper, we update and summarize the results of the SIMPATIC e-book on the results from microeconometric analysis of how firms apply for R&D subsidies, and how governments grant them, using data from 5 EU countries. We find that older firms are less and larger firms mostly more...

This study focuses on innovation in a cluster of informal shoemaking firms in Ethiopia—namely the Mercato footwear cluster. It examines how differently those firms are embedded in networks and how heterogeneous they are in absorptive capacity, and how this heterogeneity affects their...

This paper develops a framework for testing discrete complementarities in innovation policy using European data on obstacles to innovation. We propose a discrete test of supermodularity in innovation policy leading to a number of inequality constraints. We apply our test to two types of...

The paper studies the degree of homogeneity of innovative behavior in order to determine empirically an industry classi¯cation of Dutch manufacturing that can be used for policy purposes. We use a two-limit tobit model with sample selection, which explains the decisions by business enterprises...

A model is estimated for oligopolistic industries producing multiple outputs in short-run equilibrium. Outputs are sold domestically and exported, while capital is treated as a quasi-fixed factor. The model is applied to the Canadian non-electrical machinery, electrical products, and chemical...

As an introduction to this special issue on intersectoral R&D spillovers, I shall first explain what these spillovers are and how economists try to estimate them. I shall then describe the seven papers selected for this issue from the expanding literature on R&D spillovers, summarize their major...
