UK evidence for the determinants of R&D intensity from a panel fsQCA

Abstract: This study investigates whether configurations of situational determinants impact R&D intensity. Using a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), the study assesses the consistency and coverage, both cross-sectionally and over time, of these configurations. The global solution presents four alternative combinations conducive to R&D intensity and concludes that situational determinants matter. The way managers use their aspirations, the proximity of bankruptcy, and the availability of slack affects the propensit… Show more

“…The goal is to analyze the fsQCA results across the different years and countries by taking advantage of the use of panel data. As discussed previously, this approach employs techniques introduced by Garcia-Castro and Ariño (2016) and Guedes et al (2016), with brief technical details given later in Appendix B.…”

“…This development specifically acknowledges the inherent panel data structure and proposes a new suite of general descriptive measures for evaluating set-theoretic relationships for such panel data. Here, the focus is on consistency-oriented developments (see Appendix B), namely pooled consistency (POCONS), between consistency (BECONS), and within consistency (WICONS; see also Guedes, da Conceição Gonçalves, Soares, & Valente, 2016). Misangyi et al (2017, p. 274) noted that these measures offer a promising approach to incorporating time into fsQCA to enable "longitudinal set-theoretic research."…”

“…To measure returns on R&D investments, we divide R&D expenditures by total assets at the beginning of the year ( R&D ), also used by Ghosh, Moon, and Tandon (2007) to proxy for discretionary investments in R&D. As a robustness check, we use R&D expenditures. Specifically, we divide R&D expenditure by total sales, which is commonly known as R&D intensity ( R&D1 ) (Cohen & Levinthal, 1989; Guedes, da Conceição Gonçalves, Soares, & Valente, 2016; Kim et al, 2008; Lee & O'neill, 2003).…”

“…Guided by the studies [66,67,75,[81][82][83], Tobin's Q ratio (TQ) is used to measure the firm's performance. We consider R&D intensity (RD), which is an indicator that has also been used in other studies [20,27,30,48,78,[84][85][86] dedicated to analyzing R&D investment.…”
