1 INNO-tec Workshop Ludwig Maximilians Universität München 22 th January, 2004 Determinants of R&D Financing Constraints: Evidence from Belgian Companies Prof. Dr. Michele Cincera Université Libre de Bruxelles DULBEA & CEPR
2 OBJECTIVES OF THE PAPER: Relationship between the possible existence of liquidity constraints and the decisions of Belgian private firms as regards their physical capital and R&D investments over the last decade. What are the main determinants of R&D financing constraints? OUTLINE OF THIS TALK: Motivations Data Econometric framework Empirical findings Conclusions
3 MOTIVATIONS: R&D intensity increasing across OECD... GERD as a % of GDP ( or nearest available years) Sweden Finland Japan United States Korea Switzerland Germany Iceland Total OECD France Denmark Netherlands Belgium Canada European Union Austria United Kingdom Australia Norway Czech Republic Ireland Italy Spain Hungary Portugal Poland Slovak Republic Greece Turkey
4 MOTIVATIONS: Financing constraints, i.e. credit rationing by lenders, may be more pronounced in the case of intangible investments such as R&D. Agency costs. Asymmetric information: risks and uncertainties of R&D; strategic considerations. High adjustment and sunk costs associated with R&D.
5 DATABASE: Sources: Frms annual accounts at the Central Balance Sheet Office (Belfirst); about private Belgian firms, Belgian biannual R&D surveys (OSTC); 548 firms, ; Belgian CIS-2; 1341 firms, All flow variables expressed in 1995 constant BEF and deflated with sectoral prices indices. Trimming and merging procedures. Variables extracted and constructed:

18 MAIN FINDINGS: Probit model with sample selection: determinants explaining the lack of appropriate sources of finance of firms innovative activities in (CIS-2 Belgium 1996)
19 CONCLUSIONS: Objectives: 3 newly constructed samples of Belgian private companies, Impact of financing constraints on both capital and R&D investments. R&D activities: more risky and less collateral. Higher financing constraints. High adjustment and sunk costs associated with R&D: firms will engage in R&D if they do not expect to be seriously affected by financial constraints. Cash flow effects tend to matter less for these firms investment decisions. Provision of public support to R&D may also interfere with the firm s investment decision.
20 CONCLUSIONS: Main empirical findings: positive impact of cash flow effects in the firms investment decisions; more important role for investment in physical capital than for R&D; results of investment accelerator specifications and of previous studies confirmed; firms with permanent R&D less subject to liquidity constraints; No true for firms that receive public aids. Additional results: large firms, firms listed on the stock exchange, subsidiaries of foreign MNE s less subject to liquidity constraints; younger and older firms appear to be more liquidity constrained; differentiated impacts of these constraints according to the firm s industry sector and region. Extension: endogeneize the public R&D funds analyse interactions between the level of: competition in the firms product market; outside finance (debt); managerial effort (Aghion, Dewatripont and Rey, 2000).
