The analysis focuses on a component of the program that provides grants to projects that are carried out by consortia of firms and research entities. Data from a 2016 follow-up survey of applicants to the 2012 and 2013 calls for proposals show that In-Tech largely funds projects that would not otherwise get funded by other agencies or by the consortia themselves, increasing the probability of a project being completed by almost 60 percentage points. The results also show that the program leads to more science-industry collaboration, and increases the probability of applying for a patent related to the proposed project, as well as the probability of publishing a research paper related to the project. The analysis also finds early effects on commercialization of products related to the proposed project, although these products currently still make up a small share of firm's sales. 2017-01-30T17:08:19Z 2017-01-30T17:08:19Z 2017-01 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/669721483975271823/Can-grants-to-consortia-spur-innovation-and-science-industry-collaboration-regression-discontinuity-evidence-from-Poland http://hdl.handle.net/10986/25943 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7934 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Europe and Central Asia Poland
