The Determinants of Industrial R&D in Australia*

K. Gannicott

The Economic Record, 1984, vol. 60, issue 3, 231-235

Abstract: This paper offers some evidence on the determinants of RAD spending in Australian manufacturing. Two‐stage regressions are employed. Large size has a negative effect on RAD after adjustment for simultaneous equations bias. There is some indication that foreign ownership has a positive effect on RAD in higher technology industries. Tests to examine the role of government subsidy produced only insignificant coefficients.
