“…However, it is not only important to monitor R&D activities in an economy as a whole, but it is also interesting to examine R&D investment across different sectors. R&D and innovation investment tends to focus on the so-called knowledge-intensive industries in which firms mainly use R&D to gain a competitive edge (Abdal et al, 2016). These sectors are commonly known as high-tech industries and are said to produce up to around 80 % of total R&D expenditure in some EU regions (Czarnizki & Thorwarth, 2012).…”

BackgroundA significant share of business innovation arises from information and communication (ICT) sector. Business investment into research and development (R&D) activities can be seen as an important basis for innovation, which can further lead to better economic performance. This can be especially true for the ICT sector.ObjectivesThe paper examines the share of the ICT sector on innovation and the total R&D expenditure in selected European countries. Furthermore, our aim is to test the potential positive correlation between R&D expenditure, productivity and the value added in the sector.Methods/ApproachThe goals of the paper has been tested by empirical data analysis using the pane regression analysis. We examined panel data for 24 European countries in the 2008-2016 period.ResultsThe highest share of business R&D expenditure in ICT has been captured in Nordic countries. Firms in ICT appear to be innovative above the average and represent a significant share in the total business R&D expenditure.ConclusionsWe found a positive correlation between R&D expenditure and both value-added and apparent labour productivity in the ICT sector. We believe that this could be to some extent attributed to the innovation of products and processes. Hence, the government support in the form of R&D tax incentives can be also beneficial for the economic performance of ICT firms.

“…Namely, some countries might not have developed every high-tech industry. In particular, while Slovenia is an OECD memberstate, the R&D expenditure structure is more concentrated among industries, as opposed to the USA, UK or Sweden where it is more heterogeneous (Abdal, Torres-Freire, & Callil, 2016). Finally, we use the Eurostat-OECD (2007) definition of HGFs for the fourth stylised fact because of comparison to the existing literature.…”

The paper analyses high-growth firms in Slovenia over two threeyear periods: 2007-2010 and 2011-2014. The analysis has been carried out for four stylised facts on high-growth firms established in the literature: (1) growth-rate distributions are heavy-tailed; (2) different growth indicators select different high-growth firms; (3) a small share of high-growth firms generates a large share of jobs; and (4) high-growth firms are not more common in hightech industries. The results find the growth-rate distributions to be heavy-tailed, but also somewhat asymmetric and thicker than the Laplace tails. The paper shows that different indicators indeed select different high-growth firms, which is especially evident when comparing employment-and revenue-based selected firms. Furthermore, Slovenia has a smaller share of high-growth firms compared to more developed countries like the United Kingdom and Sweden; however, this smaller share of firms does contribute to a large share of jobs created, but the effect is not as large as in more developed countries. The analysis also confirms the significant effect of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises on overall job creation. Finally, only a small portion of high-growth firms can be found in high-tech sectors in Slovenia.

The world cannot be imagined without innovation progress therefore its measurement and evaluation are highly important. The aim of the paper is to present the importance of innovation progress in the framework of the EU and present the innovation capacities between Hungary and Serbia in the time frame of one decade based on defined innovation inputs distributed through selected outputs. The paper presents the main innovation scoreboard indicators of Serbia and Hungary in the period between 2011 and 2020 presented as descriptive data and at the end wrapped in Data Envelopment analysis with the help of the Malmquist index. In total eight indicators describing human capital, innovation assets, and business research activities were considered for the analysis. In conclusion, Hungary performed better compared to Serbia, and during the examined period neither of the country faced significant falls but as well the progress is quite static and slow.
