abstract:
In this paper we test whether participation in EU sponsored Research Joint
Ventures (RJVs) has a positive impact on participating firmsÂ’ performance.
We apply our statistical methodology to RJVs sponsored under two different
programs: EUREKA and (3rd and 4th) Framework Programs for Science and
Technology (FPST). Overall results show quite a different impact for firms
participating in the two programs: a positive association between
participation, labour productivity and price cost margin in the case of
EUREKA, while firms participating FPST RJVs do not show any clear pattern.
