CPB - Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy AnalysisHet Nederlandse R&D-vestigingsklimaat is concurrerend in vergelijking met dat van andere OESO-landen maar bezet geen plek in de absolute top. Het R&D-arbeidsaanbod blijft wat achter; Nederland scoort goed op de kwaliteit van het onderzoek aan universiteiten en andere publieke kennisinstituten. Dat concluderen Maarten Cornet en Marieke Rensman in dit CPB-onderzoek. Door welke factoren worden bedrijven gestimuleerd om juist in ons land R&D te doen?
Many factors determine the location of business R&D projects, the most important being history, the supply of R&D labour, and the quality of the public knowledge infrastructure. The Netherlands occupies an average or higher position in a ranking of OECD countries with regard to the attractiveness of the location for business R&D. Since domestic R&D is an important engine for domestic economic growth and since the market fails to provide optimal incentives for R&D, there is scope for government policy that improves upon the R&D location climate.
