: UK has transited from a situation of technology subsidy in the 1980s to the profit-driven best and fair technology environment in the 1990s. But the question is which has been more significant in terms of long-run influence on the productivity and competitiveness of the UK manufacturing industries. This paper attempts to find the structural differences in UK manufacturing industries during 1970-2005 within the Cobb-Douglas production function framework with R&D as one of the factors. The empirical investigations in the paper confirm the short-run structural impact, and non-significant long-run effects on productivity and competitiveness of the technology policies.
