Location of R&D and High-Tech Production by Vertically Integrated Multinationals
January 01, 2004
The paper presents evidence that in Europe, production of high-tech goods is attracted to large markets, while research and development (R&D) activities tend to be located away from them. In order to explain this phenomenon, the authors develop a two-country general equilibrium model where firms make separate choices about the location of R&D and high-tech production.
