Resumen
Descripción
The objective of this paper is to present econometric evidence of the effects of economic incentives and institutions on
national aggregate private agricultural R&D investments. An econometric model of national aggregate annual private R&D
investment is specified and fitted to panel data consisting of seven EU countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands,
Portugal, Spain and Sweden) over 1984-1995. We find strong impacts of both incentives and institutions on private agricultural
R&D investment. Including institutional factors strengthens the story and in some cases greatly changes the results.
