Abstract

Jedna od četiriju dimenzija ekonomije znanja je istraživanje i razvoj (IR). U svojem istraživanju na razini Hrvatske, autor predstavlja problem niske razine ulaganja u javne politike IR-a te nastoji odgonetnuti koji su razlozi tome. U prvom dijelu rada napravljena je analiza ulaganja u IR u Hrvatskoj s ciljem odgovaranja na istraživačko pitanje koja je razina ulaganja u IR. Nakon odgovora na to pitanje, predstavlja se pet ključnih razvojnih prepreka za ulaganje u ovo područje javnih politika. Koristeći se kvantitativnim i kvalitativnim metodama, autor nastoji odbaciti odnosno potvrditi dvije teze rada. Svrha je rada prikazati kompoziciju takvih ulaganja, staviti ih u cjelokupni ekonomski kontekst i objasniti uzroke postojeće razine ulaganja. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na to kako nominalni porast ulaganja u IR u odnosu na BDP ne odražava pravu sliku ulaganja u to područje. Odgovornost za to nije samo na nacionalnoj politici nego i na uglavnom nenamjernim procesima europske integracije, kao i kratkoročnim ekonomskim interesima poduzetnika.

Abstract (english)

One of the four dimensions of the knowledge economy is research and development (R&D). In his research at the level of Croatia, the author addresses the issue of low investment in public R&D policies and attempts to uncover the reasons for this. In the first part of the paper, an analysis of R&D investment in Croatia is conducted with the aim of answering the research question of what the level of R&D investment is. After answering this question, five key development barriers to investment in this area of public policies are presented. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the author seeks to confirm or reject two hypotheses of the paper. The purpose of the paper is to present the composition of such investments, place them in the overall economic context, and explain the causes of the existing level of investment. The research results suggest that the nominal increase in R&D investment relative to GDP does not reflect the true picture of investment in this area. Responsibility for this lies not only with national policy but also with mostly unintended processes of European integration, as well as the short-term economic interests of entrepreneurs.
