Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

The Optimal Design of Innovation Policy: Evidence from French R&D Support Programs 1: Utah State University, United States of America; 2: Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel; 3: University of Mannheim, ZEW, Germany; 4: Oxford University Blavatnik School of Government and Centre for Business Taxation We examine the optimal mix and timing of R&D support policies using France's comprehensive system of tax credits, age-based incentives, and direct grants. Matching French tax returns with administrative R&D expenditures and patent data, we investigate which policy combinations improve firm performance and innovation quality across the firm lifecycle. We exploit age eligibility thresholds using regression discontinuity design, comparing firms around the 8-year cutoff for Young Innovative Enterprises (JEI) and Young University Enterprises (JEU) schemes. Preliminary results suggest the 2004 JEI/JEU introduction increased patent applications by approximately 20 patents and improved citation quality for eligible firms. Our analysis reveals policy complementarities between different R&D support instruments and identifies when such support yields the highest returns.
