Abstract

This paper investigates the analysis model of crowding in and out for tax credits for R&D expenditure to firms’ R&D expenditure. Based on enterprises above designated size in Dalian, the different effects of fiscal technology investment funds, high-tech enterprise tax reduction and tax credits for R&D expenditure policies on corporate R&D internal and external expenditures based on Agosin and Mayer (2005)’s model are compared and analyzed. The results show that among the three policy instruments, the tax credits for R&D expenditure policy has the strongest impact on the internal and total R&D expenditure, while the combined impact of the other two policy instruments is weakened. The impact of tax credits for R&D expenditure on firm internal expenditures is not significant. Tax credits policy exerts the weakest crowding out effect on R&D expenditures of enterprises.
