Startups play an important role in economic growth and job creation in niche markets, thus governments regularly expand their research and development(R&D) budgets accordingly. As stratups are more dependent on governments to compensate for insufficient resources and capabilities than large and medium-sized companies, trust in government policies will be important. In this study, we analyzed the impact of startups' trust in government R&D policies on innovation performance. There were three major results. The first result is that government R&D investments in startups increase innovation performance in the manufacturing and high-technology industries but did not affect other industries. The second result is that trust in government R&D policies increased innovation in high-and medium-high technology and manufacturing industries. The third result is that trust in government R&D policies affects innovation before, during, and after evaluation of support process. We analyzed the importance of trust to the effectiveness of government R&D support to determine how to effectively provide it. The results show that governments need to differentiate the types of R&D support they provide according to the target firm's technology level and whether they are a manufacturing company and that appropriate R&D support mechanism should be developed for low-technology and non-manufacturing companies. Finally, governments should allocate resources and make fair and transparent decisions to help companies grow, not to better supervise them.

Various types of government R&D support are available for activating businesses by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). However, most existing studies on this topic are focused only on the financial aspect. Interest in non-financial R&D support from the government has recently grown due to the limited provision of government financial support. In this study, government R&D support for SMEs was categorized into financial and non-financial strategies. Performance in terms of technological innovation by type was also analyzed. Furthermore, as R&D performance could vary according to the characteristics of the firms, the study classified performance variables into technological development possibility, technology intensity and technology uniqueness. The relationship between the types of support and the characteristics of the performance was also examined. Based on the results, it was found that government R&D support positively influences the SMEs' technological performance. However, the level of financial support does not significantly influence the technological uniqueness. As such, it is expected that effects from the increase in quantity of government R&D support are limited.

우리나라는 R&D투자 정책을 적극적으로 추진한 결과 과학기술 발전을 통한 경제성장을 이룩하여 왔고, 세계 선진 각국에서도 과학기술을 중요한 국가 아젠다로 삼으면서 신기술 개발이나 사회문제 해결을 위한 해결책으로 과학기술 정책을 적극적으로 펼치면서 R&D에 대한 적극적인 투자를 시행하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우도 2014년 기준으로 정부의 R&D투자 예산은 17조 7천억원의 거대한 규모로 확대되고 있으며, 각각의 연구주체들에 의해 수행되어진 결과로 나오는 다양한 종류의 연구성과에 대한 성과관리의 중요성은 점점 더해가고 있는 실정이다. 한편, 연구개발 투자에 대한 성과의 효율성이라는 측면에 있어서 염려의 목소리도 만만치 않은 실정이다. 이는 연구성과를 창출하기 위한 프로세스, 즉 연구기획, 선정, 수행관리, 결과평가, 사후관리 및 사업화 등의 과정들을 철저하고 효율적으로 관리하여야 한다는 측면에서 접근할 수도 있겠으나, 중소기업을 지원하는 정부의 R&D 지원형태에 있어서는 정부의 지원방식에 따라, 즉 출연(국가 등이 반대급부 없이 예산이나 기금에서 지원하는 방식)지원이나 융자지원(일정한 금리와 상환기간을 정해놓고 지원하는 방식)에 따라 도출되는 성과의 차이가 있을 수 있다는 점에 착안하여 그 두가지 지원방식에 따른 성과에 있어서의 차이점을 비교해 보고, 그 결과에 따라 정부가 중소기업을 대상으로 지원하는 방식에 대한 방향성을 제시해 보고자 한다.

제1차 벤처붐을 겪은 이후 후기에 안정된 기업에 투자를 선호하는 벤처투자방식의 변화가 나타나고 있다. 기업성장단계에서 초기에서 중기에 있는 기업의 경우 자금의 부족을 경험하며, 지속적인 성장을 위해서 정부 R&D자금 지원을 받고 있다. 하지만 정부의 R&D자금 지원이 과연 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되고 있는가에 대한 우려의 목소리가 있다. 본 연구는 제조업에 속하는 벤처기업을 대상으로 DEA 효율성 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통하여 제조업에 속한 핵심 산업인 ICT제품과 같은 첨단제조와 기계, 자동차와 같은 일반제조에 속한 벤처기업의 효율성을 살펴보고, R&D지원을 받는 벤처기업과 그렇지 않은 기업을 비교분석한다. 추가로 두 집단 간의 특성(혁신성, 성장성, 수익성, 안전성)이 1년간 어떻게 변화하였는지 분석한다. 실증 분석결과, 제조업에 속한 R&D자금을 지원받는 벤처기업의 경우 그렇지 않은 기업보다 효율성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지원을 받은 벤처기업이 지속가능한 측면에서 비지원기업 보다는 경쟁력이 낮음을 시사한다. 그리고 1년간의 여러 특성의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 혁신성에서는 지원기업이 높은 성과를 창출하였지만, 수익성에 있어서 비지원기업 보다 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정부의 R&D지원이 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되기 위해서는 기술력뿐만 아니라 경영 효율성을 고려하는 시도가 필요하다.

Previous studies related with the relationship between R&D and innovation have focused on the role of R&D on innovation, and the empirical results have been not consistent. Although government policy supports have been considered a crucial factor to make innovation, it is true that there are little studies investigating the moderating effects of government policy supports on the relationship between R&D and innovation. The studies related with government policy supports mainly examined the direct effects of government policy supports on innovation. Using 2008 innovation activity table from STEPI, this study investigated the effect of R&D on innovation and the moderating effects of government policy support on the relationship between R&D and innovation. The data used in this study contains 532 Korean small and medium sized firms and information was collected over 3 years(2006-2008). The empirical results reports that R&D positively influences innovation and the moderating effects of government policy on the relationship is statistically significant. Therefore, This study suggests that R&D is required to firms for innovation and government policy supports are needed for connecting the R&D and innovation.

Based on the signaling theory, this study examined whether startups are more likely to attract venture investment when receiving government R&D subsidies. First, we reviewed previous studies of the investment decision-making process of venture capitalists and understood the conditions that influence investment decisions. Based on previous studies on the signal effect of government subsidies, particularly government R&D grants, on inducing private fund investment, this study revealed a mechanism to induce venture investment by startups. In addition, in order to verify whether government R&D subsidies have the effect of inducing venture investment, an empirical analysis was conducted based on data from startups under seven years and certified as a venture companies in 2021. This paper used PSM(Propensity Score Matching) method and DID(Difference In Difference) analysis for an empirical study to analyze the average treatment effect on the treated group(beneficiary startups of government R&D grants). As a result of empirical analysis, companies that receive more government R&D subsidies after starting a business are more likely to attract venture investment. From two to three years after conducting the first government R&D project, startups that received government R&D grants attracted more venture investment than those that did not. The results of this paper demonstrate that government R&D projects can also affect the venture investment ecosystem, giving policy implications to government R&D projects targeting startups. It is also expected to suggest strategic implications to startups that need new funding.

In this study, the complementary or crowding-out effects of public R&D subsidy on private R&D investment in the cleaner production were analysed between the effects and the major determinants (company size, R&D investment intensity, ratio of government investment, R&D manpower intensity). Among 207 firms' projects, the number of the complementary effect was 95 (45.9%) while that of crowding-out effect was 38 (18.4%). Resulting from logistic regression, the higher the R&D investment of sponsored companies is, the more complementary effect they show, responding to public R&D subsidy, and increase own R&D investment. The other determinants, however, showed no significant effects on firms' R&D investment. To heighten the effect of public cleaner production R&D, it is need to increase the priority of R&D investment intensity among the determinants. And to increase the performance of governmental R&D investment, further studies for the individual public R&D programs are necessary.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of government supported R&D program for SMEs by measuring TFP improvements. We estimate TFP for Korean companies from 2011 to 2018 using Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) method which reduces endogenous problem. Then government R&D beneficiary companies were extracted from the NTIS and linked to TFP estimates. The empirical results are as follows. First, as a result of estimating production function, the contribution of TFP to value-added is more important than in the past. Second, the TFP gap between large firms and SMEs continues to wide and there is no sign of easing.(from 3.72 times in 2011 to 5.23 times in 2018). Third, SMEs beneficiaries show higher TFP level than non-beneficiaries. However their TFP was on the decline until government support. After government supported R&D program, it reverses upward. Fourth, although one-year TFP improvement of beneficiaries is bigger than non-beneficiaries, it is smaller than the control group through PSME. Because SMEs participating in government R&D programs had showed downward trend of TFP until R&D program, it is necessary to examine whether there is a fundamental discordance between the demand of SMEs for R&D program and governments policy goal. More sophisticated program design will be required to escape the recognition that government R&D programs for SMEs are just charity.
