Uses COMPUSTAT data 1984 to 2004 to analyze relationship between firm performance and R&D/innovative activity.
*Measures innovative activity with patents and new product announcements.
*Measures firm performance with after tax ROA, sales growth 3-year moving average.
*Argues for increasing returns to scale in R&D spending.
*Also claims patents are negatively related to growth in this sample.
*Controls for year and industry (but not firm size, since it is correlated with R&D spending).
