Regional differences in effects of publicly sponsored R&D grants on SME performance
研究公共研发补助对中小企业绩效的影响,发现效果因区域技能劳动力供给而异:技能丰富地区有正面增长效应,技能有限地区则相反。
This paper explores regional variation in the effects of publicly sponsored R&D grants on SME performance. The results suggest that there is no guarantee that the grants will impact firm growth, either positive or negative. Positive growth effects are most likely to be found for publicly sponsored R&D grants targeting SMEs located in regions abundant with skilled labor, whereas the opposite is found for SMEs located in regions with a limited supply of skilled labor.
