Reproduction is authorised provided the source is acknowledged. abstract: The chapter explores the effects of public R&D on productivity and growth. We summarise the main stylised facts and show that our understanding of the benefits of public R&D is limited and that a broader approach is needed which takes account of a wider range of benefits from public R&D. Specifically, we explore these issues in the context of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Southern Europe as two EU ‘catching-up’ regions. We show that the links between science and industry in these regions are stronger than is commonly assumed, but that we need a better understanding of the nature of these links and their intensity. date: 2016-03-03 date_type: published publisher: Publications Office of the European Union official_url: https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2777/427046 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green commissioning_body: European Commission verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1140744 doi: 10.2777/427046 isbn_13: 978-92-79-49557-1 confidential: false lyricists_name: Radosevic, Slavo lyricists_id: SRADO39 actors_name: Radosevic, Slavo actors_id: SRADO39 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: Science, research and innovation performance of the EU, A contribution to the open innovation, open science, open to the world agenda : 2016 place_of_pub: Brussels pagerange: 119-139 pages: 21 book_title: Science, Research and Innovation performance of the EU.
