Abstract
Not available in German. This paper investigates the robustness of cross-section results on innovative behaviour of firms. It discusses specifications resulting from various assumptions on market structure and strategic behaviour. A number of cross-section and pooled probit results rely on restrictions which are rejected. The specification with correlated random effects is rejected and yields poor results, but the absence of correlation between random effects and regressors is also rejected.
