Research Abstract |
How Japanese firms financed R & D in the 2000s is studied. By estimating R & D investment function of listed firms in the R & D intensive industries, following results are obtained. Financing constraints are observed only among young small firms mainly listed on stock markets for emerging companies. However, R & D were not financed by new share issues among these firms, which implies that the stock markets did not play a role as suppliers of R & D fund. We also find that firms hard pressed for paying debts faced financing constraints and their R & D investments might be stuck at suboptimal levels.
