From R&D to Productivity Growth: Do the Institutional Settings and the Source of Funds of R&D Matter?
估计了1980-1998年16个国家中企业、公共部门和外国研发对多要素生产率增长的长期影响，发现三者均显著，且吸收能力、资金来源、政府支持目标及公共机构类型影响其贡献程度。
Abstract This paper presents estimates of the long‐term impact of various sources of knowledge (R&D performed by the business sector, the public sector and foreign firms) on multifactor productivity growth of 16 countries from 1980 to 1998. The main results show that the three sources of knowledge are significant determinants of long‐term productivity growth. Further evidence suggests that several factors determine the extent to which each source of knowledge contributes to productivity growth. These factors are the absorptive capability, the origin of funding, the socioeconomic objectives of government support, and the type of public institutions that perform R&D.
