Abstract
This thesis analyses the effects of R&D spillover on European equities. Contrary to previous studies in the US, I find little evidence that companies’ R&D increases predict abnormal stock returns for their peers. Moreover, it appears that firms operating in high R&D growth industries who have little R&D growth of their own experience weaker returns compared with the rest of the sample. This result suggests that any value investors place on R&D spillover pales in comparison to the implicit loss of competitive advantage.Description
