dc.description.abstractEmpirical evidence suggests that positive externalities from R&D exceed negative ones.According to conventional wisdom, this calls for R&D subsidies. This paper develops aquality-ladder growth model with overlapping generations which evaluates the positive andnormative implications of R&D subsidies and compares them with the effects of publiceducation policy to promote R&D. Unlike standard growth models, the proposed frameworkaccounts for the specificity of science and engineering (S&E) skills, where individualsendogenously choose the type of education, and allows for heterogeneity in individual ability.Although intertemporal knowledge spillovers are hypothesized and negative R&Dexternalities are absent, the analysis shows somewhat surprisingly that R&D subsidies may bedetrimental to both productivity growth and welfare, in contrast to publicly providededucation targeted to S&E skills. Finally, the optimal structure of public education spendingon different skills is examined.en
