R&D and Economic Growth in Slovenia: A Dynamic General Equilibrium Approach with Endogenous Growth
No full textIn the article, we model R&D as a major endogenous growth element in a small open economy general equilibrium framework and consider several R&D policy scenarios for Slovenia. Increase of the share of sectoral investment in R&D that is deductible from the CIT and increase of government spending on R&D turned out to be the most effective policy measures. While the former policy measure is still in part followed by an undesired dividend increase, the increase of government spending on R&D boosts long-run productivity in the economy, thus increasing the future value of firms, which is reflected in a desire dividend increase. The households that would gain more utility from such policy scenarios are those with more skilled and highly skilled labour, but not the very top earners in the economy.endogenous growth; general equilibrium modelling; R&D; Slovenia
R&D and Economic Growth in Slovenia: A Dynamic General Equilibrium Approach with Endogenous Growth
No full textIn the article, we model R&D as a major endogenous growth element in a small open economy general equilibrium framework and consider several R&D policy scenarios for Slovenia. Increase of the share of sectoral investment in R&D that is deductible from the corporate income tax and increase of government spending on R&D turned out to be the most effective suggested policy measures. While the former policy measure is still followed in part by an undesired transfer of the tax relief to dividends, a moderate increase of government spending on R&D boosts long-run productivity in the economy, thus increasing the future value of firms, which is reflected in a desired dividend increase. The households that would gain more utility from such policy scenarios are those with more skilled and highly skilled labour, but not the very top earners in the economy.Endogenous growth, General equilibrium modelling, R&D, Slovenia

Rewarding Innovation: Improving Federal Tax Support for Business R&D in Canada
No full textBusiness innovation is viewed by many as a solution to Canada’s ailing productivity performance. One of the more troubling aspects of Canada’s innovation track record is that businesses spend relatively little on research and development (R&D) despite having access to some of the world’s most generous R&D tax incentives. Canada’s low levels of business R&D have called into question the effectiveness of Canada’s generous R&D tax incentives, particularly the flagship federal Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program. A deeper analysis, however, reveals that tax incentives are effective in stimulating more R&D – that is, Canada would have lower levels of business R&D in the absence of these inducements. Instead, the root cause of Canada’s business R&D deficit appears to stem from structural aspects of the economy and, more importantly, a lack of demand-related pressure to pursue innovation.Fiscal and Tax Competitiveness, Canada, research and development (R&D) incentives, Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program

On the complementarity between on-the-job training and R&D: a brief overview
No full textIn this paper I briefly review the existing literature on the complementarity between on-the-job training and R&D. I show that the complementarity is studied, on the one hand, within two lines of economic research, labour economics and endogenous growth. On the other hand, from the empirical point of view, some recent papers seem to confirm results of theoretical studies, by arguing that a specific training for R&D is quite often a crucial condition for adopting new technologies. I conclude that this issue is treated by different subsets of economic literature which need other improvements, and particularly, an integration
