R&D productivity: are ideas harder to find or does Europe suffer from a commercialization gap?
It has been a long-standing debate whether Europe suffers from an innovation gap. Recent studies indicate a global decline in research and development (R&D) productivity across various sectors, raising concerns about the efficiency of innovation investments. New panel data from the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard allow examining long-term relationships between firm productivity and R&D. The results show that EU top R&D investors struggle more than their global counterparts to convert their R&D into new ideas and marketable products.
