Determinants of productivity growth in Europe

Description: The research project proposes an empirical analysis aiming at identifying the factors that affect the rate of return to R&D across countries. These factors include labor market rigidities, the quality of patent systems, the strengths of patent systems, the venture capital intensity and trade exposure. In addition, various sources of R&D are investigated, especially private R&D and international R&D.
