Abstract: 
Information asymmetry and outcome uncertainty increase the cost of debt for R&D. This study shows that recipients of public R&D grants face lower costs of debt. Immediate effects suggest that quality certification explains this observation. For younger ventures certification is accompanied by liquidity effects. Short-term effects stem from grants for research. In addition, longer-term liquidity effects point to grants facilitating young firms’ investments in R&D that advance project maturity.
