Abstract: This paper seeks to quantify the causal effects of Research and Development (R&D) subsidies on firms’ R&D intensity (the ratio of private R&D to sales). It uses data on 442 firms observed in 1999 and 2001 and applies three approaches that differ in their restrictiveness with respect to the identification assumptions. Weak statistical evidence for the presence of positive effects of research subsidization is found with point estimates of between 0.8 percent (standard error 0.5 percent) and 0.5 percent (standard error 0.3 percent).
