This is Peter Midmore (coordinator of IMPRESA) here again.

I'm responding to query 1 of Alessandra Coli and Barbara Pacini's Message 31. They seek empirical studies addressing the relationship between public and private R&D funding, particularly in terms of impacts deriving from any complementarity or substitutability between the two.

I have just come across an article by Fuglie and Toole (2014) in early view of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics entitled "The Evolving Institutional Structure of Public and Private Agricultural Research", which raises and explores a number of issues regarding the role of private biotech activities. Also, the reference list could be a useful starting point for analysis.

Hoping this is helpful!

[Regarding methodologies and data requirement for macro-level epIA of agricultural research, Alessandra and Barbara in their Message 31 invited feedback on four issues, the first of which was: "1) Public versus private R&D funding: To the best of our knowledge, research expenditure (R&D funding) in agriculture plays the role of treatment variable in this literature. Public R&D funding may have an impact on private R&D funding. In our opinion, the relationship between the two (complementarity or substitutability) should be taken into account when trying to correctly attribute the effects. We wonder whether any participants could suggest to us some empirical studies addressing this issue"...Moderator].
