With the tightening of national and local finances and the increasing pressure to reduce fundamental public funds allocated to universities, universities are expected to obtain external funding to strengthen their financial resource base and stimulate their research activities. However, very few papers have examined the impact of public foundations on external foundations in Japan. In this study, we examine the impact of the allocation of public research funds on the acquisition of external funds by national and local public universities by applying a system GMM method. We distinguish five academic fields (economics, science, engineering, agriculture, and medical) and develop a departmentlevel panel data from 2004 to 2016. The results reveal that there is no evidence that public research funding crowds out external funding in Japan. We rather find a positive association between public research funding in prior year and external funding in the current year for several departments.
