| Abstract | We analyse the relation between design inputs and other innovation and economic performance indicators provided by third wave of the UK Community Innovation Survey (CIS). We estimate a knowledge production function, an output production function and a design expenditure function. We conclude (a) around 9% of firms reported some spending on design (b) design spending represented about 10% of all reported spending on innovative activities (c) design has a positive and statistically significant association with product innovation, not process innovation (d) design expenditure has a marginal return of about 17%, likely an overestimate of the causal effect (e) receiveing government support raises design expenditure by about 3% of mean expenditure (for those firms undertaking expenditure), again likely an overestimate of the causal effect. |
