Results of Regressions of Manufacturing Establishments, 2000-2002Do tax incentives for science and technology stimulate additional investment? We use detailed data on applications and acceptances for R&D tax incentives, a special survey, and for the first time, the science and technology module from the 2000-2002 Survey of Manufacturers database in Colombia to analyze this question. We estimate the effect of the R&D tax deduction instituted in Colombia using Zellner's Seemingly Unrelated Regressions method, and find that the elasticity of demand of R&D investment in manufacturing is quite high in Colombia compared to other countries, particularly for smaller firms, but that the direct benefit from existing policies is minimal. Overall, the results of the paper suggest that there is a great potential for such incentives to promote R&D investment in Colombia, but in their current form, they fail to target those firms that could benefit the most.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/178Manufacturing industriesColombiaEconometric modelsTax incentivesColombiaEconometric modelsResearch and development tax creditColombiaEconometric modelsCurrent spendingimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfIncome and capital gains taxesimfIncome taximfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPersonal Finance -TaxationimfPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and SubsidiesimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfTax allowancesimfTax incentivesimfTaxationimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfColombiaimfManufacturing industriesEconometric models.Tax incentivesEconometric models.Research and development tax creditEconometric models.Current spendingExpenditureExpenditures, PublicIncome and capital gains taxesIncome taxNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPersonal Finance -TaxationPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and SubsidiesPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceTax allowancesTax incentivesTaxationTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General338.09861Mercer-Blackman Valerie1816647DcWaIMFBOOK9910957405703321The Impact of Research and Development Tax Incentives on Colombia’s Manufacturing Sector4372907UNINA
