Government R&D subsidy and financial credit in knowledge production process, which one is better?

Abstract

Abstract: According to the high-tech industry data from 1999 to 2008, this article examines and compares the knowledge production effects of government R&D subsidy and financial credit using the panel regression method from the enterprise R&D expenditure and innovation output aspects. The research shows that: government R&D subsidy is more effective than financial credit regardless of promoting enterprise R&D expenditure or innovation output; at the same time, the knowledge production effects of government R&D subsidy and financial credit are significantly related to the firm size and structure of property rights - they are positively correlated with firm size, while negatively correlated with the structure of property rights.

Key words: government R&D subsidy, financial credit, knowledge production, technological innovation
