| Tiivistelmä: | Conceptually based on returns to scale, this study explores how R&D-related earnings performance and earnings variability depend upon the size of the firm. We find the positive association between future earnings and R&D intensity increasing with firm size, and the positive relation between the volatility of future earnings and R&D intensity decreasing with firm size, consistent with R&D productivity's scale benefits. It is also shown that R&D scale is connected with lower market returns, consistent with the idea of R&D investment risk declineing with scale. |
