An empirical test of geographic knowledge spillovers using geographic information systems and firm-level data (2001, background): “See Wallsten (1998, 2000) or www.sba.gov/SBIR for more detail on the SBIR program.”
Picking the winner? Empirical evidence on the targeting of R&D subsidies to start-ups (2012, background): “Then, subsidies reduce the costs and uncertainty of private R&D activity and thereby aim to induce firms to undertake R&D that would otherwise be unprofitable (Wallsten, 2000).”
Subsidies, financial constraints and firm innovative activities in emerging economies (2017, background): “Despite finding crowding out effects, Wallsten (2000) cannot rule out that the US SBIR grants allowed firms to continue their R&D activities at a constant level rather than cutting back.”
Multilevel innovation policy mix: A closer look at state policies that augment the federal SBIR program (2015, neutral): “In the context of innovation policy, scholars have overwhelmingly focused attention on federal programs (Keller and Block, 2013; Lerner, 1999; Link and Scott, 2012; Toole and Czarnitzki, 2007; Wallsten, 2000; and others).”
Are Incentives for R&D Effective? Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Approach † (2011, background): “…and unsubsidized firms by industry and size, Lerner (1999) finds that the policy increased sales and employment of subsidized firms; by contrast Wallsten (2000), using the amount of public funds available for each type of R&D investment in each year as an instrument for the subsidy, shows that…”
Direct and Cross-Scheme Effects in a Research and Development Subsidy Program (2017, neutral): “They find that most studies reject the null hypothesis of total crowding out of private R&D investments, with the exception of Wallsten (2000), analyzing the SBIR program in the United States who found dollar per dollar crowding-out effects.”
Evaluating the impact of public subsidies on a firm's performance: A quasi-experimental approach (2007, neutral): “…1 include Arvanitis et al. (2002), who analyse the effectiveness of advanced programs of technology diffusion in Switzerland, Lerner (1999) and Wallsten (2000), who examine the impact of the Small Business Innovation (SBIR) program in the US, and Roper et al. (2004) who, using an ex-ante…”
R&D subsidies and private R&D expenditures: evidence from Italian manufacturing data (2011, background): “Agencies are, indeed, likely to ‘pick the winners’ and support attractive project proposals (Wallsten 2000).”
The effects of public support schemes on small and medium enterprises (2015, background): “…Reinkowski et al. (2010), and Herrera and Sánchez-González (2013) reject full crowding-out effects, while Busom (2000), Heijs and Herrera (2004), Kaiser (2004), Lach (2002), Suetens (2002), and Wallsten (2000) find indications that public R&D funding replaces private R&D investments to some extent.”
Government-subsidized R&D and Firm Innovation: Evidence from China (2016, neutral): “Moreover, a few works based on U.S. data demonstrate a crowding-out effect of public R&D programs (e.g., Wallsten, 2000; Acemoglu et al., 2013), whereas most studies based on data from non-U.”
Determinants of Innovative Activity in Japanese Technology-based Start-up Firms (2004, background): “In other research, Lerner (1996) and Wallsten (2000) examine the effectiveness of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program that supports the research activities of technology start-ups in the USA.”
Grant Support and Exporting Activity (2008, background): “1 Well known examples include the Small Business Innovation Program in the US (Wallsten, 2000) or R&D support available from the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS) in Israel (Lach, 2002) 2 Moreover, awareness of these criteria may mean that plants will self select themselves into the application…”
Who participates in R&D subsidy programs?: The case of Spanish manufacturing firms (2004, background): “6Some examples of work appearing just after these surveys were submitted are Lerner (1999), Wallsten (2000) and Lach (2002).”
