Internationalization Of Research And Development-Causes And Consequences For A Small Economy
Taking note of the importance of outward foreign direct investment for knowledge creation in small countries, the article analyses causes and consequences of the internationalization of R&D. Using firm-specific data on Swedish manufacturing and a selection bias corrected regression method, variation across firms in the share of foreign R&D is explained with needs to overcome transfer costs and with technical progress, while influence of intra-firm trade is refuted. Complementary examination of affiliate characteristics speaks against small countries losing their edge in knowledge creation and production.Internationalisation of R&D, Technology diffusion, Vertical integration, JEL Classification: F2, L2, 03, F23, L22, 032, 033,
