We examine whether the R&D investment influences firms’ cash holdings at Taiwan exchange-listed biotechnology firms. Our paper indicates three findings: first, R&D investment is significantly positively correlated with biotechnology firms’ cash holdings. Second, we show that not only firms’ characteristics affect firms’ cash holdings, but also firms’ cash holding sensitivities affect biotechnology firms’ cash holdings. Third, the result that firms’ cash holdings and R&D investment are highly correlated only occurs in the Pharmaceutical firms and Applied-biotechnology firms, but not for Medical-device firms.
