Research and Development improves productivity through cost reduction or through market expansion. Professor Pierre Mohnen (Université du Québec à Montréal) was asked to survey the existing literature on the link between R&D and productivity growth, comparing the social and private rates of return on R&D to Canadian manufacturing productivity growth. This study shows that the rate of return on private R&D is greater than the rate of return on physical capital. Furthermore, higher rates of return are obtained more from: (a) basic than applied research; (b) company-funded than publicly-funded R&D; (c) and from R&D directed to generate new production processes than from new products. The benefits from one sector's R&D also spill over onto other firms. Therefore, the social rate of return from R&D is substantially higher than the private rate of return. Professor Mohnen's results also suggest that Canadian manufacturing as a whole benefits from foreign R&D spillovers. |
