Study on the Economic Impact of Research Results from FWF-funded Projects
Current research studies (work in progress)
Supported by: Austrian Science Fund
Study by: Austrian Institute of Economic Research
Together with Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) and Joanneum Research Policies, WIFO calculates the economic impact of
FWF-funded basic research. In a first step, a survey, patent and publication data analyses as well as case studies are used
to trace different economic effects, such as registered inventions, company start-ups or the production of new measuring instruments.
In the second step, short-, medium- and long-term effects of the funded projects on productivity, value added and tax revenue
are modelled.
