Location of R&D and High-Tech Production by Vertically Integrated Multinationals

Ekholm, Karolina; Hakkala, Katariina - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2004

The Long-Run Growth Effects of R&D Subsidies

Segerstrom, Paul S. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1998

This paper presents a model of R&D-driven growth without scale effects where firms can engage in both horizontal and vertical R&D activities. Unlike in earlier models of R&D-driven growth without scale effects by Jones (1995), Segerstrom (1998) and Young (1998), R&D subsidies can have long-run...
