Measuring the social rate of return to R&D in coal, petroleum and nuclear manufacturing: A study of the OECD countries
چکیده انگلیسی

This paper estimates the social rate of return to research and development (R&D) in the energy manufacturing industry. Our model tries to quantify the positive contribution that lagged R&D has on total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the manufacturing of coal, petroleum products and nuclear fuel for a number of OECD countries. Using a panel of data from the OECD STAN database we are able to obtain results suggesting that R&D has a positive and significant rate of return that varies for each country.

Research highlights
► The social rate of return to R&D are positive and significant for most countries.
► The US and the UK have low rates of return.
► Italy and Germany have the highest rates of return.
