| Tiivistelmä: | This paper investigates whether the optimal unilateral R&D policy for an open economy is a subsidy or a tax. A general equilibrium model with 3 successive layers of international integration is built: a. trade in goods, b. trade in technologies (here as: techs.) with international R&D spillovers and c. internationally-coordinated R&D policy. Trade in techs. introduces the possibility that an R&D subsidy will have such strong, negative terms-of-trade effects that it harms domestic (here as: dom.) welfare. It is shown by numerical simulations of the OECD that this is a possibility for the U.S. and Japan. With international R&D spillovers a dom. R&D subsidy may reduce dom. innovation. |
