Abstract

Using a sample of 18 industries from 18 OECD countries, I perform an industry-level analysis of the influence of the country’s financial-system orientation, i.e., bank- or market-oriented, on R&D intensity. Using OLS, GMM, and VAR methods, my results show a positive relation between capital market development and the importance of the most R&D-intensive sectors. Nevertheless, there are some exceptions to this pattern, which may be related to the legal and institutional framework of each country.

Keywords: Capital Markets, Financial Intermediaries, R&D, VAR
