| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors investigate the existence of R&D spillovers transmitted through inward and outward FDI in the case of Sweden. The choice of Sweden is guided by the fact that it is one of the very few countries for which firm-level data on multinational activity are available. This panel of Swedish MNEs has two major advantages. First, the data base on Swedish MNEs incorporates data on the affiliates' activity levels, and provides us with measures of multinational activity that are superior to those based on financial direct investment data. Second, the authors' data allow them to examine whether the kind of activity undertaken by a foreign affiliate matters for the extent to which spillovers are transmitted. |
