Does the R&D Public Procurement Matter for High-Tech Exports? Evidence from the USA

Résumé

Recently, demand-side innovation policies have succeeded in stimulating technology upgrading in many countries around the world. Especially, public procurement has become a major and important industrial policy for achieving technological development and competitiveness. This paper examines empirically the impact of R&D public procurement (innovative public procurement) on high-tech exports of 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia over the period 2000-2008. The econometric analysis relies on panel fixed-effects estimations and an instrumental variable approach to investigate the causal effect of the R&D public procurement on high-tech exports. Based on a unique panel dataset of federal procurement in the USA, the empirical results show that there is a positive and statistically significant effect of R&D federal procurement on high-tech exports. The results of this paper confirm the importance and effectiveness of R&D public procurement as a policy to enhance technological competitiveness. The results are robust using various robustness checks. Moreover, this paper also shows three potential mechanisms through which R&D public procurement may affect high-tech exports.
