摘要
We quantify, using data from the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys and the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index, the empirical relationship between global competitiveness and R & D investment activity as well as the independent relationship between global competitiveness and R & D investments across geographic regions of economic development. We also explore alternative measures of the effectiveness of R & D investments. Our findings suggest that R & D investments are a possible policy target variable in high-income regions for policy makers to consider for increasing firms' global competitiveness.
