recently by the theoretical and empirical literature. Moreover the intensity of knowledge externalities in generating … output to R&D employment is around 1, while knowledge externalities exist, are geographically localized in an area of 200 kms … and are significant. Nevertheless these externalities are not strong enough to generate sustained growth, and therefore …

International R&D spillovers and marginal social returns on R&D
Ogawa, Kazuo; Sterken, Elmer; Tokutsu, Ichiro - 2016
We analyze the impact of international R&D spillovers on recipient countries in terms of social and private returns. We divide the aggregate R&D stock by the business, government and education sectors and examine the impact on Total Factor Productivity. We endogenize the accrual of the R&D...

Foreign direct investment in producer services : theory and empirical evidence
Raff, Horst; Von der Ruhr, Marc - 2001
This paper examines the pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI) in producer services. We develop a model of FDI in these services and test its predictions using panel data on U.S.FDI in 25 host countries from 1976 to 1995. We find evidence that, in addition to governmental and cultural...
