Resumo: This paper investigates the potential impact of increased R & D efforts and structural change in Portugal on labour productivity. Based on existing literature on the relation between R & D expenditures, structural change and productivity, we evaluate the contribution of R & D and hightech industries to productivity over the last 30 years. Our results confirm the importance of business R & D in the medium to high-tech sectors and of public R & D, as they stimulate productivity growth. However, we cannot support the hypothosis that productivity growth was primarily rooted in the development of medium-high technology industries.

Com base na literatura sobre a relação entre despesas emI & D, mudança estrutural e produtividade, avaliamos a contribuição daI & D e das indústrias de alta tecnologia neste cenário durante os últimos 30 anos. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a importância dos investimentos emI & D das empresas de indústrias de alta e média-alta tecnologia eI & D público no crescimento da produtividade. Não obstante, não podemos afirmar que este fenômeno tenha como esteio principal o crescente relevo destas indústrias.Universidade de São Paulo, FEA-RP/USP2009-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/102210.1590/S1413-80502009000400003Economia Aplicada; Vol. 13 No. 4 (2009); 399-424Economia Aplicada; Vol. 13 Núm. 4 (2009); 399-424Economia Aplicada; v. 13 n. 4 (2009); 399-4241980-53301413-8050reponame:Economia Aplicadainstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPenghttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/1022/1034Copyright (c) 2015 Economia Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVarum, Celeste AmorimCibrão, BrunoMorgado, AntónioCosta, Joana2016-02-03T16:59:46Zoai:revistas.usp.br:article/1022Revistahttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoaPUBhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/oai||revecap@usp.br1980-53301413-8050opendoar:2023-09-13T12:16:54.696728Economia Aplicada - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
