Nous utilisons un ensem-ble enrichi de données comportant des renseignements supplémentai-res sur les établissements manufacturiers, provenant de l'Enquête sur l'innovation au Canada de 2005, qui est liée à l'Enquête annuelle sur les manufactures et l'exploitation forestière (EAMEF). Le modèle économétrique que nous avons estimé contrôle les effets attribuables à un biais de sélection, à la simultanéité, à la taille de l'entreprise et à l'industrie. Voici les principales observations qui s'en dégagent : 1) Exporter vers les marchés autres que les États-Unis, la taille de l'entreprise et le recours au soutie...

This article uses data from the Canadian Survey of Innovation 2005 and the Annual Survey of Manufactures and Logging (ASML) to estimate an econometric model linking innovation and productivity in manufacturing firms. Our main findings are that firms with higher innovation output (measured by innovation sales per employee, i.e. sales of new and improved products per employee) achieve higher labour productivity, even when size of firm, intensity of human and physical capital, and labour productivity at the beginning of the period are taken into account.

The firm data from innovation surveys carried out by national statistical agencies, were in some cases linked to additional data on firm’s activities and performances. The theoretical and econometric model, inspired by Crepon-Dugay and Mairesse (1998), was discussed and agreed by all research teams. Using the country specific data, the common ‘core’ model was estimated by a common econometric methodology. The specification of the three stage model takes care of the selection and simultaneity issues. To ensure international comparability, the ‘core’ model did not include variables for which data were missing in some countries. Its formulation left aside some potentially important relationships suggested by theoretical considerations and/or former research. In spite of these constrain...

Not all firms in the sample are R&D performers. A B-index summarizing the various tax incentives for R&D is constructed for each firm, taking into account individual ceilings in the use of relevant tax incentives. A generalized Tobit model with fixed effects is estimated. A one percent increase in the federal tax credit of R&D yields an average of $0.98 additional R&D expenditure per dollar of tax revenues foregone.
