The Market Valuation of Innovation: The Case of Indian Manufacturing

1. Motivation
Innovation prime motive force behind economic growth
Firms spend large amounts of scare resources on innovative activities
Desirable to know whether financial markets value innovation-intensive firms differentially
Persuasive evidence that developed country stock markets value innovative activity by firms
Can we expect the same in less developed economies? Major reason for incredulity is the fact that predominant share of intellectual capital is generated in a handful of developed economies
A few developing countries do some innovation (Bogliacino et al. 2012) – process patents, utility models, smaller innovations. Often for imitation and diffusion, but generate profits and hence market value
Hence, stock market’s valuation of innovation also relevant in developing country context:• Are more innovative firms valued
more highly than less innovative ones?
• Is market valuation responsive to the quality of innovation spending?
• Is market value responsive to market risk?
• Does the market value-innovation relation vary across industries; and if so, how?
We explore such issues in the context of manufacturing industries in India.
2. Prior literature
Very informative, but mostly pertains to developed countries: Griliches (1981); Bloom and Van Reenen (2002); Hall, Jaffe and Trajtenberg (2005); Greenhalgh and Rogers (2006); Griffiths and Webster (2006); Hall and Oriani (2006);exception Chadha and Oriani (2010)
Our study broad-bases the available evidence by providing further evidence on a developing country, namely India.
Number of distinguishing features, including the context - mostly no product patents; few process patents, limited to certain industries; utility models never an option
Far from obvious that stock market would value such innovation as does occur

4. Sample and Variables
Firm-level data for Indian manufacturing sector (‘Prowess‘; CMIE)
Sample: 380 firms, 3494 observations, over 2001-2010, covering 22 industries (mostly 2-digit, some 3-digit levels):
Auto ancillaries, automobiles, cement, chemicals, (other) construction material, (other) consumer goods, domestic appliances, drugs and pharmaceuticals, electrical machinery, electronics, food and agro-products, gems and jewellery, glass and glassware, leather and leather products, metals, non-electrical machinery, paper and paper products, personal care, petroleum, plastics and plastic products, rubber and rubber products, and textiles and textile products.
Variables: • Market Value (V): equity + debt
• Physical capital (Kp): net fixed assets
• Knowledge capital (KK): capitalized value
of R&D expenditure; perpetual inventory method (15% depreciation rate)
• Other intangible capital (KOI): capitalized
value of advertising expenditure; perpetual inventory method (30% depreciation rate)
• DUM (adv = 0); invariably insignificant
• Quality of capital (S): real profit after- tax, purged of knowledge capital and other
intangible capital (and time dummies)

Conclusions
Where most firms do not patent, or have utility models, we find that:
• Stock market places greater value on more innovative firms, ceteris paribus
• Rate of return appears to be larger than that in developed countries, excepting UK
• Depreciation rate too high? Probably not
• Firms underinvest in R&D. Probably
• R&D-intensive firms valued more for option value of R&D programmes
• Market value-innovation relation appears to vary between supplier-dominated & other industry groups, but few firms in former group, & differences insignificant.
