Abstract (Translated): 
Taking a sample of 24 OECD countries, using a cointegrated panel, empirical evidence is provided at group and individual level of the positive effect of spending on research, development and innovation on economic growth during the 2000-2019 period. Assuming that patents act as a proxy for innovation and using the ordinary least squares dynamic estimator, the existence of a long-term equilibrium relationship is corroborated by which, and in per capita terms, an increase of 1.0 % in the stock of patents generates an increase in GDP of 0.52 %. Similarly, an increase in R&D spending of 1.0 % translates into GDP growth of 1.27 %. Additionally, by implementing a Granger causality test for a panel, a positive and significant relationship is found between R&D spending and the stock of patents, patent stock and economic growth, and R&D spending and economic growth.
