    The R&D policy instrument mix concept has become increasingly important for understanding how public R&D support drives firm-level R&D. To-date, empirical studies have conceptualised the instrument mix as a static unit, whereby firms receive multiple policy instruments at one point in time. However, firms can also receive multiple instruments in a sequence, over time. While sequencing is well rehearsed heoretically, this remains a major gap in the empirical literature. Our study evaluates, for the first time, how R&D policy instrument mix sequencing impacts firm-level R&D. We construct a unique dataset, containing almost 25,000 firm-year observations over a 17-year period for Ireland. Our analysis focuses on R&D grants, R&D tax credits, and publicly-supported academic-industry collaborations, and develops two novel approaches to measure R&D policy instrument mix sequencing. Our results suggest that R&D policy instrument mix sequencing is highly effective at driving firm-level R&D, but that some sequences are more effective than others. These findings highlight opportunities to realise superior policy outcomes through targeted sequencing.

  2. Subsidising innovation outside or within firms' existing knowledge base
    which is best for radical innovation?

    Public financial support for firm-level Research and Innovation (R&I) can generate important socio-economic returns. This is especially true if firms use this support to develop radical innovation, defined as new-to-market goods and services. However, radical innovation is risky, and prone to failure. Therefore, subsidising radical innovation can also generate sub-optimal socio-economic returns (i.e. policy failure). Understanding how public funding for R&I can be allocated in a way that encourages radical innovation, while avoiding policy failure, is crucial. Our paper investigates, for thefirst time, whether public fundingfor R&I generates more radical innovation in firms seeking to innovate by engaging in knowledge areas that are new to them, versus firms seeking to exploit their existing knowledge base. We make this distinction by using a novel approach, based on the knowledge challenges that firms face when innovating. By merging firm-level survey data with administrative data on public funding for R&I in Ireland, we find that subsidising firms seeking to engage in new knowledge areas, can result in more radical innovation and turnover from radical innovation, compared to firms seeking to exploit their existing knowledge base. These are critical insights from theoretical and policymaking perspectives, regarding the allocation of public funding for R&I.
