The Role of Intention in Public Innovation Subsidies: Case of Small Firms in Peru
- Public innovation policies try to foster innovation among companies to bring economic development to a country. Since it is crucial to ensure that policy effects go beyond first government intervention, this study tries to know whether those small firms that have experienced a subsidized project have more intention to develop new innovation projects in the future and to know the main predictors of such intention.
