2 WorldScan General equilibrium (micro foundations) Interaction: markets, countries and sectors (GTAP-7 classifications) Recursively dynamic model Econometrically underpinned consumer demand, savings, capital mobility, R&D spillovers Many toggle-wise extensions (variations on a core version) climate change and clean air policies monopolistic competition foreign direct investments R&D sector and endogenous R&D decisions

3 R&D modelling in WorldScan R&D expenditures accumulate in R&D stocks Firms decide on optimal R&D stock R&D stock accumulations are produced in a separate R&D sector R&D spills over to total factor productivity via own sector other sectors foreign sectors R&D intensity falls over time in EU baseline growth of services economy relative strong growth of new member states

4 R&D in CES production nest

5 R&D modelling equations

6 R&D spillover estimates Coefficient Parameter estimate Average elasticity Own sector R&D spillover (0.22) Other sectoral R&D spillover (0.107) Foreign R&D spillover (0.233) Total N=2250; R 2 = 0.183; Lejour, A.J. and R. Nahuis (2005), R&D spillovers and growth: specialisation matters, Review of International Economics, 2005

7 Implementation of the spillover estimates in WorldScan Originally, the coefficient for spillovers within the own domestic industry was set to zero to prevent double counting (with the contribution to production of the own R&D capital stock) Later on it was shown that double-counting fears were in part unwarranted and a coefficient value of intrasectoral spillovers of was introduced Visser, S.,, CPB Memorandum 189, 2007

8 Modification of production nest for value added (1)

9 Modification of production nest for value added (2)

10 .. and introduction of wage differential between high-skilled and R&D workers Hence, the impact of heavy subsidies on R&D will partly evaporate into wage increases for R&D workers Rojas-Romagosa, H., Modelling Human Capital formation in WorldScan, CPB Memorandum 244, 2010

11 Objective five Lisbon highlights Economic effects of reaching Lisbon targets on economic growth sectoral structure Five targets employment, R&D, human capital, administrative burden, services directive What-if: targets reached by assumption! no assessment of realism costs of policy only partly included Uncertainty R&D: lower and upper bound for social returns to R&D See Gelauff, G.M.M. and A.M. Lejour, Five Lisbon highlights; the economic impact of reaching these targets, CPB document 104, 2006

12 R&D expenditures in 2003, selected countries (% GDP) Sweden Finland Germany Belgium France Austria EU Netherlands UK Italy Spain Hungary Poland US

13 Five Lisbon highlights: R&D simulations Target: EU expenditure at 3% GDP in 2010 increase in R&D stock proportional to GDP until 2020 after 2020: falling R&D (services economy) at country level an upper limit of 4.5% is imposed Spillovers in two scenarios lower bound: social return to R&D 30% upper bound: social return to R&D 90% Instrument: subsidy on user costs of R&D 3% expenditure target met over at EU-level

14 Five Lisbon highlights: two R&D scenarios, 2025 (% difference to baseline) low (30%) high (90%) R&D stock country range: 0-300% GDP productivity impacts Consumption Exports R&D intensive sectors produce tradeables Real wages

15 Effects of five Lisbon targets, EU, lower bound, 2025 (%) GDP Consumption Exports Employment R&D Adm. burden Human capital Services

16 Conclusions WorldScan R&D modelling A highly stylized reflection of R&D practice Showing the role of R&D as a growth promoter Based upon empirical foundations (spillover estimates, elasticities value added nest, wage elasticity of R&D workers) Five Lisbon highlights showed What would have happened if a miracle would have occurred GDP increase: % Consumption increase: 9-19% R&D ranks second as a vehicle for growth... but miracles do not exist targets were very ambitious potential role of policy instruments remains rather uncertain
