Abstract

It is widely known that innovation has got an impact on economic development, although there are still not many quantity studies on this topic. In developed countries new solutions are the effect of the domestic R&D production, but in those that are still catching up, like Poland, technology transfer is dominating and the innovation expenditure structure is a quite different. Additionally, it is complicated to measure this phenomenon, because of the short time series in public statistics. The main aim of the article is the identification and evaluation of the impact of innovation expenditures on innovation and their structure on manufacturing production value in Poland in 2006-2015 years, including regional differences, time delays and weight system. What is responsible for manufacturing development in Poland - domestic R&D or passive technology transfer, including foreign one? We were using multiregression panel data (time and spatial) model to find and describe some of the discoveries. We observed that there was a changing influence of every category of expenditure on the manufacturing production value. There was a growing importance of the domestic R&D, with parallel strong meaning of the imported passive technology transfer, on manufacturing. Additionally, used time delays were also significant. Finally, there is a necessity to use regional diversity to measure this phenomenon in less development countries.
