本文探讨了研究与发展（R&D）资金和学术化学家的知识生产之间的关系。使用发表的文章，无论是原始计数或调整质量，我们发现一个强大的，积极的因果关系影响的资金对知识生产。这种影响在大学的子集中是相似的，这表明研发资金的分配相对有效。最后，我们记录了20世纪90年代末和21世纪初化学知识产生的速度相对于用于其生产的财政和人力资源的快速加速。
This article examines the relationship between Research & Development (R&D) funding and the production of knowledge by academic chemists. Using articles published, either raw counts or adjusted for quality, we find a strong, positive causal effect of funding on knowledge production. This effect is similar across subsets of universities, suggesting a relatively efficient allocation of R&D funds. Finally, we document a rapid acceleration in the rate at which chemical knowledge was produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s relative to the financial and human resources devoted to its production.
