Book excerpt: Investigates the impacts of the U.S. publicly-funded Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programme's funding on the overall employment growth of SBIR-award recipient firms. Finds that, on average, the overall employment effects associated with the SBIR programme are large absolutely and relative to dollars of funding, but these effects are, in general, not statistically significant.
