  - This paper estimates the private returns to four different kinds of R;D spending on the probability of Irish and foreign-owned businesses engaging in product, process and organizational innovation. By providing econometric analysis of the Community Innovation Survey: 2004 to 2006, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of the effects of Irish innovation policy, which has incentivized businesses to spend on R;D. The main findings are that Irish-owned businesses are significantly more likely than foreign-owned to introduce new products as a result of creative R;D work undertaken. Foreign-owned businesses, which spend nearly 6 times more per worker on R;D than Irish-owned, enjoy very high returns mostly from the purchase or licence of patents. This reflects a fundamental difference in the innovation activities of these businesses, which is critical for policymakers’ understanding of the Irish innovation system.
