This paper examines the impact of the shifting compensation of the heads of corporate research and development. Among firms with centralized R&D organizations, a clear relationship emerges: more long-term incentives (e.g. stock options and restricted stock) are associated with more heavily cited patents.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze to what extent that the location and the extent of higher education and university R&D, respectively, influence the location and the extent of industry R&D in Sweden using an accessibility approach. After an extensive literature survey, we develop a simple theoretical model for the location of R&D from the perspective of a multinational enterprise. From this theoretical model, we then deduce our empirical model, which we then estimate in the form of a Tobit model using data from Swedish labour market regions and municipalities.
The authors nvestigate whether policies that stimulate enrolment in S&E-studies are effective at increasing R&D-activity. Concerning policy, the authors argue that expanding the stock of S&E graduates is not very effective for boosting R&D activity.

The authors assess and discuss the effect of endogenizing this uncertainty on optimal R&D investment trajectories and carbon emission abatement strategies.
In this paper, the authors discuss various options to include human capital, R&D and product market competition in a macroeconomic framework. They also study how policy can affect the decisions to build human capital or to perform research, and how competition policy impacts on macroeconomic outcomes.
The author studies whether R&D-intensive firms are liquidity-constrained, by also modeling their antecedent decision to apply for credit. Findings indicate that firms with no or low R&D intensity to be less likely to request extra funds.
