April 2017, 13:15 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Rainer Widmann (Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University) "The Effect of Government Research Grants on Firm Innovation: Theory and Evidence from Austria" Kommentar: Harald Oberhofer (WU/WIFO) Abstract: This paper examines the effect of government research grants on firms' patenting outcomes. Discontinuities in the funding decisions of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) allow to study the effect of public funding in a large sample of Austrian firms. My estimates suggest that a government research grant increases the propensity to file a patent application with the European Patent Office within 4 years by around 10 percentage points. Stronger effects appear for established firms of advanced age. I present evidence that established firms undertake ambitious research projects when they receive grants. Finally, I interpret the findings in an "exploration vs. exploitation" model in which the government agency addresses inefficiency in the direction of research.

In particular, the recent theoretical literature has emphasized the role of expectations as the key channels that determines the efficacy of countercyclical government spending. Using an expectations augmented structural vector autoregression (SVAR), this paper assesses the extent to which expectations of future output and inflation may explain the presence, and size, of a fiscal multiplier. Using several identification procedures and a wide range of decomposition techniques, our results can be summarized as follows: First, a rise in government spending is associated with a persistent rise in both output and expected output, as well as a decline in inflation and expected inflation. Second, the rise in output is largely attributable to the rise in expected output, while the role of expected inflation plays a negligible role. Lastly, using several counterfactual experiments, we find that the rise in expected output is a large causal determinant of the efficacy of fiscal policy, while expected inflation is not. Our results are broadly supportive of the transmission mechanisms identified in the theoretical literature, but emphasizes the role of expected output to a much larger extent than previously acknowledged.

An expert shareholder chooses how much information to communicate about the return on investment to a controlling shareholder who controls the investment strategy. Relative to the cheap-talk literature there are two key innovations in our model: first, that the shareholdings drive the incentive to communicate; second, that these shareholdings are determined endogenously. We embed this new model into two settings. In the first setting, equity ownership is determined by investors buying shares on a competitive equity market. We provide conditions under which share-trading delivers perfect communication and full risk-sharing. The second setting is a principal-agent relationship where the equity is granted as compensation by a principal (board) to an agent (CEO). Within this setting, the model highlights a novel trade-off between incentivizing export provision and promoting information transmission. Furthermore, the principal-agent setting delivers insights into the effects of prudential regulation. Paper jointly with Nicola Persico We are looking forward to seeing you!
