Counterfactual analysis is introduced to get significant estimates of the effects of R&D subsidies on treated firms. MDID estimators is used. The results are controversial as in previous studies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
