| Abstract: | Highly productive firms use their capital, labour and material resources more effectively to create product values than do less productive firms. A measure of this effectiveness is "total factor productivity" (TFP). Studies have shown that gains in the TFP of individual firms are directly related to the intensity of their investment in R&D , primarily to investments for product and process development. R&D expenditures for basic research also contribute to productivity growth. |
