A Computational Analysis of R&D Support Programs
Government R&D support programs are examined within a dynamic equilibrium model of imperfectly competitive industries in order to study the effectiveness of such programs and the extent to which their design matters. We compare two common support schemes, R&D tax credit and direct R&D grants. Adopting comprehensive welfare measures that take into account government, producer […]
