Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending

Thomas Karier

Economics Public Policy Brief Archive from Levy Economics Institute

Abstract: Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
