  • Valuing Research and Development Projects in Energy Markets
    Valuing Corporate Innovation, 2018
    Co-Authors: Peter Schäfer
    Abstract:

    In this chapter we highlight the importance of appropriately valuing Research and Development investments. We identify specific characteristics of Research and Development projectsResearch and Development projects, such as irreversibility, uncertainty and managerial flexibilitymanagerial flexibility. In Sect. 2.2 we suggest valuation tools that are able to take these characteristics into account in order to valuate projects in Research and Development. In Sect. 2.3 we present a case study. The case study analyzes the decision process in the Development of the Siemens H-class Gas TurbineSiemens H-class Gas Turbine. It illustrates how companies make their decisions about Research and Development projects in practice.

  • Research and Development and Tax Incentives
    South East European Journal of Economics and Business, 2012
    Co-Authors: Sabina Hodžić
    Abstract:

    In many countries, tax incentives are a popular means to achieve political, economic and social objectives. Their aim is to reach and accelerate certain activities of public interest. Furthermore, one of the objectives is to accelerate the Development of a certain industry and influence the growth of Research and investment in foreign capital. Innovation is the key element that helps a company achieve competitive advantage. Global competition is forced to offer unique products with added values on the market. Tax incentives for Research and Development are an important factor of innovation. This paper aims to present the importance of Research and Development, as well as the role of tax incentives. States should use their fiscal policy to stimulate investment in Research and Development through various forms of tax relief. The Republic of Croatia applies tax incentives for Research and Development, but to a significantly less extent than other European Union countries.

  • The Impact of Tax Incentives on Research and Development
    Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017
    Co-Authors: Petr Svoboda
    Abstract:

    The goal of this article is to analyze the impact of tax incentives on Research and Development and compare its effectiveness to direct government support of Research and Development. The analysis is based on regression analysis, which compares effect of tax incentives for Research and Development and direct government support (as percentage of GDP) in 28 countries of OECD in 2013 on innovative effectiveness of these countries measured by number of registered triadic patent families per billion GDP in the same year. Results suggest that tax incentives are more effective form of Research and Development support than direct government funding. Research also revealed interesting case of Switzerland’s Research and Development performance backed by almost none government support, which should be subject to future study.
