This paper examines the impact of the Dutch R&D fiscal incentive program, known as WBSO, on R&D capital formation.

We examine the impact of internal and external R&D on labor productivity in a 6-year panel of 304 innovating firms. We apply a dynamic linear panel data model that allows for decreasing returns to scale in internal and external R&D with a non-linear approximation of changes in the knowledge...
