Abstract

This study contributes to the understanding of the temporal dimension of the effects of R&D subsidies on R&D inputs, outputs and innovation behaviour. We argue that while the time dimension of the effects on R&D inputs (input additionality; IA) tightly relates to public support programmes' requirement of private contribution in R&D spending, the effects on innovation (output additionality; OA) and innovation behaviour (behavioural additionality; BA) are temporally delayed, linked to the explorative nature of learning associated with publicly funded projects, and obstacles to changes in the innovation behaviour of firms. Our findings have significant implications for both policy and evaluation.
