IWH R&D Micro Database: Part 1: Data, Data Origin and Data Quality

Almost all industrialized countries have set up support schemes to foster private Research & Development (R&D) activities. However, only little is known on which programs are exactly applied, how much money is spent and whether such programs work in the way they were originally intended. Reliable evaluation studies that allow identifying causal effects can help to clarify if and how these policies work and for which policy schemes the results are promising. This kind of research design, however, places high demands on the quality of data.
