| Tiivistelmä: | The paper extends the theory of multinational companies by allowing for agglomeration forces in company-level activities such as R&D as well as production. The study develops a two-country general-equilibrium model where companies make separate choices about the location of R&D and production. There are R&D spillovers and a home-market effect creating incentives for companies to locate production in the relatively large market. For relatively weak R&D spillovers and intermediate trade costs, the smaller economy tends to specialize in R&D. While skilled labour may gain from hosting an agglomeration of R&D activities, unskilled labour. |
