“…While the earlier literature focused on a few countries only, and in particular the US, an increasing number of micro-econometric studies on a large number of economies have been presented during the last few years (Parsons and Phillips, 2007;Mohnen and Lokshin, 2009). The exponential growth in the literature is partly due to the increasing popularity of tax credits, which are now adopted in more than 20 OECD countries; but it has also been fostered by the greater availability and diffusion of firm-level data in several countries, and particularly in Europe (Bodas Freitas and von Tunzelmann, 2008;OECD, 2010).…”

Do the effects of R&D tax credits vary across industries? A meta-regression analysis

This paper presents a survey of the micro-econometric literature on the effects of R&D tax credits on firms' innovation activities. We focus on one specific aspect that has not received sufficient attention in previous research: the sectoral dimension. Our meta-regression analysis (MRA) sets up a new database collecting a large number of firm-level studies on the effects of R&D tax credits and investigates the factors that may explain differences in the estimated effects that are reported in the literature. The main result of the MRA analysis is indeed that sectors matter. Micro-econometric studies that have focused on a sub-sample of high-tech industries have on average obtained a smaller estimated effect of R&D tax credits. The paper proposes a simple framework to investigate why the effects of R&D tax credits vary across sectors and points out new directions and hypotheses for future research.JEL codes: O1, O3, O4

“…Furthermore, firms may not understand the importance or even the existence of certain trade policies [11,12]. Moreover, they may become discouraged in carrying out the policies because of the lack of appropriate knowledge, infrastructure, and human resources [13,14].…”

“…Third, operational resources to carry on implementing and practicing policies are another representative resource of policy implementation [13,14]. Establishing those operational resources is challenging for both governments and firms not only because it demands large expenditures but also the number of different policies and their varied requirements make it more challenging to customize their operational resources.…”

Affective Policy Performance Evaluation Model: A Case of an International Trade Policy Implementation

2018

Firms often superficially adopt policies because of governmental rules and regulations, so as to avoid penalties or to gain benefits. However, the evaluation and characterization of those kinds of adoptions as policy performance distorts the true level of policy performance: social sustainability. This study proposes an affective policy performance evaluation model. The attitudes of employees toward adopting a policy are characterized into genuine and superficial compliance. Their behaviors are explained through voluntary and opportunistic adoptions. In order to validate the proposed model, a survey was conducted on an international trade policy target group (n = 216) for the Strategic Trade Control System (STCS), in order to understand their attitudes toward adopting the policy. The survey data was analyzed by a structural equation modeling method. The measures of the factors in the proposed model are adopted and modified from existing studies. The most effective resources of policy implementation on the firms' genuine and superficial compliance and ultimately on the firms' voluntary policy adoption are revealed through the analysis. Based on the results, this study presents a strategy for allocating and managing policy implementation resources to exclusively encourage firms' trade policy adoptions.

“…Os incentivos públicos a inovação podem gerar resultados distintos dependendo do ambiente tecnológico e institucional em que vigoram, isso justifica a combinação dos programas públicos com as especificidades organizacionais inerentes aos países, para alinhar os objetivos nacionais aos fluxos de conhecimento derivados dos distintos atores de cada região (FREITAS;TUNZELMANN, 2008).…”

RESUMOOs estudos sobre os indicadores de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (CT&I) associam-se à busca pela compreensão da inovação de forma ampla. O processo de construção dos indicadores compostos exige decisões subjetivas relacionadas às escolhas metodológicas e teóricas que os fundamentam. Se por um lado, o processo contribui para a compreensão do fenômeno inovativo ao fomentar a discussão conceitual e capturar aspectos da inovação, por outro, há críticas sobre a natureza arbitrária das decisões relacionadas aos métodos estatísticos utilizados e a capacidade de representar a complexidade da inovação para fundamentar políticas. Assim, o objetivo desse artigo é discutir a construção do indicador composto (IC) de inovação, ressaltando sua relevância como fomentador de discussões. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os prós e contras da construção dos indicadores, também foram analisados o Handbook on Constructing Composite Indicators, elaborado pela Organização para Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), e os relatórios do Innovation Union Scoreboard (IUS) e do Summary Innovation Index (SII). Os três documentos representam esforços de padronização das técnicas de construção de Scoreboards e do IC. Manuais como o IUS levam os estudiosos de CT&I a avaliar os obstáculos à inovação em cada país, discutindo as concepções teóricas subjacentes e a subjetividade dos métodos estatísticos. Assim, o processo de discussão viabilizado torna-se tão importante quanto a ferramenta de decisão política a que os indicadores se propõem a constituir, e confirma que eles não podem ser a única ferramenta de tomada de decisão sobre questões tão complexas como a inovação.Palavras chave: Indicadores. Mensuração. Inovação. Classificação. ABSTRACTStudies on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators are associated with the search for understanding the innovation in a broadly way. The construction processes of composite indicators require subjective decisions related to the methodological and theoretical choices that underlie them. If on one hand, the process contributes to understand the innovative phenomenon to foster conceptual discussion and capture aspects of innovation, on the other, there is criticism about the arbitrary nature of decisions related to the statistical methods used and the ability to represent the innovation complexity to support policies. The objective of this article is to discuss the construction of a composite index of innovation, highlighting its importance as a booster of
