In this paper we analyse determinants of firm R&D using matched Swedish employer-employee data spanning the period 1990-1999. We explore if
predictions from the model of creative destruction are supported by data.
Using various measures of competition, results indicate that competition is likely to contract rather than expand firm R&D expenditures. In addition, firm R&D is positively correlated with its own export and to the R&Dintensity of other firms within the same concern, indicating the existence of knowledge spillovers.
