Assessment of the effects of EU R&I funding on innovation and economic performance of SMEs

The main aim of this paper is to analyse, by using the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) and eCORDA data, whether participation of SMEs in EU R&I funds so far resulted in an increase of their innovation activities, economic performance and R&D investments. To do that we empirically test whether the SMEs that received EU funds record an improvement of their economic performance measured by turnover and employment.
