EAGER: An Exploratory Study of R&D Investment on Innovation using Business R&D and Innovation Survey (BRDIS) Data

然而，创新已经从多个角度进行了研究；过程和产品创新对企业绩效的影响是复杂的。为了更好地估计研发投资和公司绩效之间的关系，该项目将考虑新的数据，这些数据允许明确区分不同形式的研发投资、产品与流程创新和公司绩效。美国国家科学与工程统计中心(NCSES)的商业研究和发展调查(BRDIS)数据为企业层面提供了丰富的数据，通过人口普查局人口普查数据中心来检验研发投入对企业产品创新和流程创新的影响。这项探索性工作将开始审查2011年开始的数据系列。

Innovation has been examined from multiple perspectives nevertheless; the impact of process and product innovation on firm performance is mixed. To better estimate the relationship between R&D investment and firm performance, this project will consider new data that allows for a clear distinction between different forms of R&D investment, product vs. process innovation and firm performance. The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) Business Research and Development Survey (BRDIS) data provide rich data firm level to examine the effect of R&D investment on firm product innovation and process innovation, through the Census Bureau Census Data Center. This exploratory work will begin to examine the data series that begins in 2011.
