Particularly the ‘R’ component of RD has been found to drive productivity at the firm level. That is firms that invest a larger fraction of their total RD on research (relative to development) are more productive both in terms of the production of new knowledge, e.g. patens as well as overall factor productivity. However, economic theory suggests that two types of market failure affect private investments in research.
