Resumen

Este artículo se centra en analizar en qué medida los determinantes clásicos de la I+D (tamaño, oportunidad tecnológica, demanda y condiciones de apropiabilidad) afectan de forma diferente a la investigación y al esarrollo. En primer lugar, se delimitan las diferencias que existen entre ambas actividades. En segundo lugar, se cuantifican diversos aspectos de la I+D de las empresas manufactureras españolas. Se observa que menos de la mitad de las empresas que realizan I+D tiene gastos en ambas actividades. Entre los resultados obtenidos, cabe destacar que la oportunidad tecnológica y un mayor nivel de apropiabilidad son dos características sectoriales que afectan positivamente a la inversión en investigación frente al desarrollo
