In recent years there were many debates and different opinions
whether R&D spillover effects exist or not. In 1995 Coe and Helpman published
a study about this phenomenon, based on a panel dataset, that supports
the position that such R&D spillover effects are existent. However, this
survey was criticized and many different suggestions for improvement came
from the scientific community. Some of them were selected and analysed and
finally led to a new model. And even though this new model is well compatible
with the data, it leads to different conclusions, namely that there does
not exist an R&D spillover effect. These different results were the motivation
to run a spatial analysis, which can be done by considering the countries as
regions and using an adequate spatial link matrix. The used methods from
the field of spatial econometrics are described briefly and quite general, and
finally the results from the spatial models (the ones which correspond to the
non-spatial ones) are compared with the results from the non-spatial analysis.
The preferred model supports the position that R&D spillover effects exist.
