Our analysis is based on a large micro dataset of participants in the ALFA programme proposals. The database combines detailed data on the proposals with rich information on R&D activities, patenting, public support for R&D, economic and financial variables, and structural characteristics of the participating firms. The data was obtained from the following sources:
1. MicroBeRD+ database CZE – statistical database compiled from R&D surveys, patent data, R&D tax credits records, structural business statistics, and the business register under the OECD project MicroBeRD+ at the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO, 2022).
2. The Research, Development and Innovation Information System of the Czech Republic (ISVaV) – complete administrative data on projects supported by programmes of direct public funding for R&D from the national budget (Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, 2022).
