| Description |
Significant research has studied the impact of Research and Development (R&D) on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the country level. However, few studies consider the possibility that a country’s GDP can also be a driver for R&D. This paper investigates the causal relationship linking R&D and growth in a sample of European Union (EU) countries, with an emphasis on Portugal. A causal relationship from growth to R&D can only be proven for France and Spain, whereas the inverse causality only seems to exist for The Netherlands. The co-integration results question the existence of a long-run relationship between R&D and GDP.Keywords: R&D, Economic growth, Co-integration, Granger causality, European countries, Portugal.
