| Abstract: | This paper examines the extent of regional agglomeration of foreign and indigenous electronics firms and research and development (R&D) activity in the Irish electronics industry. In particular, the authors are interested in whether indigenous R&D activity is concentrated in the same regions and research areas as foreign R&D, which is necessary to facilitate successful knowledge spillovers between the two groups. While there is evidence that there are regional clusters of indigenous and foreign- owned firms, the data suggest that there is a low probability of successful knowledge spillovers from foreign to indigenous firms. This is because foreign- owned firms undertake R&D primarily in different regions and in different research areas than indigenous firms. |
