Evaluation of the Norwegian R&D tax credit scheme
(Discussion Papers;640, Working paper, 2010)We find that the Norwegian R&D tax credit scheme introduced in 2002 mainly works as intended. The scheme is cost-effective and it is used by a large number of firms. It stimulates these firms to invest more in R&D, and, ... -
Growth policy in a small, open economy : domestic innovation and learning from abroad
(Discussion Papers;572, Working paper, 2008)Research and development (R&D) play a pivotal role for innovation and productivity growth, and knowledge spillovers can make the case for public support to private R&D. In small and open economies, absorption of foreign ... -
Knowledge spillovers and the timing of R&D policy
(Discussion Papers;635, Working paper, 2010)We analyze how knowledge spillovers influence the optimal timing of R&D policy. Using numerical simulations we find that optimal subsidies to R&D may be rising over time even when the returns to knowledge is decreasing. ... -
On general versus emission saving R&D support
(Discussion Papers;584, Working paper, 2009)We analyse welfare effects of supporting general versus emission saving technological development when carbon emissions are regulated by a carbon tax. We use a computable general equilibrium model with induced technological ... -
On R&D anf the undersupply of emerging versus mature technolgies
(Discussion Papers;571, Working paper, 2008)An important policy question is whether research and development (R&D) in new, emerging technologies should be more subsidized than R&D in other more mature technologies. In this paper I analyze if innovation externalities ... -
Returns to public R&D grants and subsidies
(Discussion papers;740, Working paper, 2013-05)We address the question of whether the returns to R&D differ between R&D projects funded by public grants and R&D in general. To answer this question, we use a flexible production function that distinguishes between different ... -
Strategic investment in climate friendly technologies: the impact of permit trade
(Discussion Papers;No. 615, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: Our point of departure is that a group of developed countries invest in the development of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement technologies both at home and in developing countries. Such investments reduce the cost ... -
The effects of R&D tax credits on patenting and innovations
(Discussion Papers;No. 565, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Norwegian business spending on R&D is low by OECD standards. To stimulate business R&D, in 2002 the Norwegian government introduced a tax-based incentive, SkatteFUNN. We analyze the effects of SkatteFUNN on the ... -
The impact of public R&D support on firms’ patenting
(Discussion papers;911, Working paper, 2019-07)We examine the impact of both R&D tax credits and direct R&D subsidies on Norwegian firms' patenting. Whereas direct subsidies are aimed at projects with low private and high social return, tax credits do not discriminate ... -
Timing of innovation policies when carbon emissions are restricted : an applied general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 536, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper studies the timing of subsidies for environmental research and development (R&D) and how innovation policy is influenced by the costs of emissions. We use a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) ... -
Welfare and growth impacts of innovation policies in a small, open economy. An applied general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 510, Working paper, 2007)We explore how innovation incentives in a small, open economy should be designed in order to achieve the highest welfare and growth, by means of a computable general equilibrium model with R&D-driven endogenous technological ...
