The authors construct a novel AI indicator based on patent texts and classify innovations using textual analysis. They instrument regional public R&amp;D with plausibly exogenous variation in national defense-related spending. The astudy finds that public R&amp;D significantly increases AI patenting: a 1% increase in public R&amp;D raises AI patent output by 0.27%.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Working paper in pdf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Working-paper-135-AI.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref4\" name=\"_ftn4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref5\" name=\"_ftn5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref6\" name=\"_ftn6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Working paper, by Anastasios Evgenidis, Research Fellow, ELIAMEP; Senior Lecturer, Royal Holloway University of London; Apostolos Fasianos, University of Macedonia, Research Fellow, ELIAMEP and George Papapanagiotou, University of Macedonia examines whether public R&amp;D funding stimulates AI innovation in Europe and the UK, using patent data from the European Patent Office (2003\u20132021).
