The scale of these initiatives and their focus on non-defence sectors are unprecedented. This study reviews six major examples of new United States industrial innovation policies involving federal government interventions in post-research phases of inn…

This study evaluates the impact of financial incentives for corporate innovation on the performance of Mexican companies. It also analyses the priorities underlying the incentive programmes by constructing a profile of the types of firm that are the main recipients of this kind of support. Propensity score matching —in this case, matching based on the probability of receiving such support— of data from the 2017 Research and Technological Development Survey (ESIDET) is used for this purpose. When corporate and governments funds are both taken into account, the results indicate that public fundi…
En este trabajo se evalúa el impacto de las ayudas a la innovación empresarial en el desempeño de las empresas mexicanas y se analizan sus prioridades, creando un perfil de las empresas que reciben frecuentemente esas ayudas. Se aplica el método de correspondencia basada en la puntuación de la propensión (propensity score matching) —en este caso como un emparejamiento basado en la probabilidad de ser beneficiario— a los datos provenientes de la Encuesta sobre Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico (ESIDET) de 2017. Los resultados indican que el dinero público incentiva el gasto total en invest…
