摘要：Firm success is often associated with the development of better prod- ucts. Private .rms undertake applied R&D seeking market advantage, by capitalizing on the freely accessible results of basic research. But un- patentable basic research often fails to address applied R&D open prob- lems. What is the role of the incentives in improving the innovative perfor- mance of an economy by matching partially motivated public researchers to their mission? Sometimes government funded research projects are mission-directed, yet in many cases the public sector academics indulge in carrier-driven research. An innovation system where, as in the US, also basic research is driven by patents, implicitly sets an ex-post incentive to the researchers guided by invisible hand. For a public innovation system - like the European one - designing an incentive scheme to motivate public researchers is of key importance for fostering the performance of the eco- nomic system. This paper extends the Schumpeterian multisector growth model with vertical innovation by highlighting a link between the degree of "targetness" of public research and aggregate innovation. A positive e¡èect of social capital is also proved.
