The internationalisation of R&D and the knowledge production function

García-Vega, María; Hofmann, Patricia; Kneller, Richard - 2012

This paper considers the effect of acquisition FDI on the knowledge production function. We distinguish between acquisitions by MNEs from technologically leading countries and those behind the technological frontier. We show that both acquire similarly R&D intensive domestic firms, but there are...
