Chapter 13: Q.10 (page 316)

Will the demand for borrowing and investing in R&D be higher or lower if there are no external benefits?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Demand would be higher if there are no external benefits.

Demand would be higher if only enterprises investing in research and development could benefit from positive externality.
