No 2018-37, Economics Discussion Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel)

Abstract: This study explores the effect of industry competition on public R&D subsidies' effectiveness. The author finds the non-linear threshold effect of industry competition on R&D subsidies' effectiveness. Specifically, R&D subsidies' effectiveness reaches its peak when industry competition lies between the two estimated thresholds.
