This chapter examines empirically the determinants of research and development (R&D) activities by Turkish firms. It focuses on the question of how competition affects product innovation, and not process innovation, in Turkey. In particular, we test if there is a non-linear relationship between R&D activities of a firm and the degree of competition in that industry. We use Turkish firm-level data from the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) and find strong support for an inverted-U relationship between the two variables.

Using firm-level data from Changzhou, a prefectural city in China's Yangzi River Delta, we investigate the performance of both internal and external research and development (R&D) in high-tech firms. We find that, on average, high-tech firms with more internal R&D expenditure apply for more patents in terms of both the total number of patents and the number of invention patents. Internal R&D is most efficient in foreign firms, followed by private firms and then state-owned enterprises. These findings highlight the importance of privatizing high-tech firms in China if the government intends to accelerate industrial upgrading and convert the pattern of “Made in China” into “Created in China.”

Sustainable economic development is tightly connected to substantial innovation which can be improved by reducing low-quality innovation. This paper constructs a theoretical framework to present the ultimate relationship between administrative approval and sustainability. In order to verify the research hypotheses, we define the dormant patents whose patent rights are terminated due to non-payment of renewal fees to measure the low-quality innovation of Chinese manufacturing firms. By using the merged firm-level data between 1998 and 2007 and collected information on whether a city establishes the administrative approval center (AAC), and employing a difference-in-difference (DID) approach, we identify the impacts of administrative approval and firms’ low-quality innovation. First, the results reveal that administrative approval reduces the firms’ low-quality innovation. Second, administrative approval has a smaller impact on the low-quality innovation for state-owned enterprises (SOE). Third, three mechanisms are uncovered through which administrative approval impedes low-quality innovation: enhancing market competition, changing the direction of innovation, and optimizing research and development (R&D) investment strategy.

This research investigates the relation between research and development (R&D) expenditure and the industrial concentration in the Indonesian manufacturing industry. Pooled least square dummy variable is applied to estimate the relation between the two variables. This research uses firm-level data taken from the survey of the manufacturing industry sourced from the Indonesian Bureau of Central Statistics. This research makes contributions in calculating the percentage of R&D expenditure using the recent data and freshly estimating the relation between R&D and industrial concentration in the industry. This research finds that the percentage of R&D expenditure is relatively low in the industry. There is also a declining trend in the percentage of the R&D expenditure from the period 1994–1995 to 2017. The higher industrial concentration increases the percentage of R&D expenditure. This research also finds that R&D expenditure can be higher in the firms with market power.
