Abstract This paper tests if foreign ownership influences the innovative behaviour and performance of enterprises. The analysis uses data from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS 3) for Austria.We employ a kernel-based matching approach as a non-parametric test. After controlling for size, sectoral affiliation, export intensity and other variables that influence innovative behaviour we found that the impact of foreign ownership on innovation input and outcome is not significant in most variables.

The nationality of the parent enterprise does not matter for innovative behaviour and performance except in the case of Anglo-Saxon-owned enterprises.
