The results showed that the expenditure of R＆D has a positive effect on performance of innovation commercialization, while the number of R＆D staff has trivial impact on that. The results also revealed that E1 has no direct effect on commercialization performance, but plays a moderating role in the effect of R＆D investment on commercialization of innovation. More specifically, the R＆D expenditure of a finn with high involvement system has a less positive impact on the number of new products, but a more positive effect on the profit of new products.展开更多

The present study examines this issue by exploring how trade participation impacts on the R ＆D investment of manufacturing firms through various channels. Merging China ＂s Annual Manufacturing Survey Dataset and the Chinese Customs Dataset allows us to study such a relationship at the individual firm level. The empirical results suggest that channels such as geographical diversification of export markets, share of imports from high-income countries, average unit value of imports, number of intermediate goods and capital goods imports, and the trade regime are significant factors that influence firm-level R＆D investment. The study discusses the policy implications of the empirical findings in relation to industrial and trade policies that may be potentially beneficial for China＇s transition towards an innovative economy.展开更多

Therefore, different relationships between oligopoly companies will lead to different responses in their decisions on R＆D investment. A correlation deduced from different responses of oligopoly companies in R＆D investment with the complete information tactic game theory is presented, and the R＆D investment of oilfield service companies was analyzed with this correlation. The correlations of Schlumberger＇s R＆D investment, Halliburton＇s R＆D investment and Baker Hughes＇ R＆D investment were established and analyzed. Meanwhile, two regression models were presented. One was composed of Schlumberger＇s R＆D investment in the previous year and Halliburton＇s R＆D investment. The other was composed of Schlumberger＇s R＆D investment and Baker Hughes＇ R＆D investment in the same year. The accuracy of these two models was proved to be good.展开更多

In this paper,using China's A-share agricultural listed companies from 2010 to 2015 as research samples,we discuss the influence of government subsidies on research and development( hereinafter referred to as R & D) investment,and the difference in the relationships between the two from the perspective of different nature of property rights. The results show that,on the whole,the increase in government subsidies does not promote the intensity of R & D investment of agricultural listed companies. And after distinguishing the nature of property rights,the results show that state-owned enterprises can get more government subsidies than private enterprises,and the increase in government subsidies boosts the increase in R & D investment in private enterprises,but there is a negative correlation between government subsidies and R & D investment of state-owned enterprises. This conclusion can broaden the research perspective of the influence factors of corporate R & D investment,and it is of practical significance to further clarify the role of government subsidies in R & D investment decisions of enterprises with different nature of property rights.展开更多

The results show that there is not a ＂increasing first, decreasing later＂ non-linear relationship but a ＂double negative＂ relationship between debt level and corporate R ＆ D expenditure. And the ＂double negative＂ relationship has a different mechanism in different growth companies.展开更多

In this paper, interval number and D numbers theory are revealed in the uncertain factor and incomplete information of investment decision. The weights of uncertain factors are calculated using entropy weight method. Thus, a new MADM model for investment decision based on D numbers theory is proposed. Numerical example is used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.展开更多

Cubic curve fitting and cross-correlation analysis of them with SPSS have shown that there is a strong synchronic relationship between R&D investment and GDP.展开更多

It would be a significant way that enterprises undertake R&D activities for a change. This paper is based on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed heavy pollution enterprises in 2011-2016, which is based on the review and summary of research results of former researchers, combining with current environmental regulation situation of our country, raising the relevant hypothesis between environmental regulations, R&D investment and business performance against heavy pollution industry. Adopting the method of empirical research, it also built the linear regression model which employs the relevant financial data of heavy-polluting enterprises in China as the statistical research sample. The relationship for heavy-polluting enterprises affected by environmental regulations between environmental protection R&D investment and enterprise business performance was tested. The results show that there is a positive influence on the environmental R&D investment and business performance, and a lag effect upon the R&D investment of enterprises to business performance. Finally, the research results were used to evaluates problems existing in the R&D investment on pollution industry in China as well as business performance and we put forward some suggestions on improving environmental regulation standards and technology innovation consciousness as well as optimizing the structure of R&D investment.展开更多
