THE EFFECTS OF REGIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY ON THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF INDUSTRIAL R&D LABORATORIES*
研究了大学研究和州科技计划如何影响产业研发实验室的选址，发现它们倾向于设在有科技计划、大学研究水平高、政府支出多、劳动力受教育程度高和人口密度大的都市区。
ABSTRACT. The determinants of the geographic distribution of industry R&D activity are examined with particular emphasis on the role of university research as well as state science and technology programs. An analysis of a cross section of metropolitan areas indicates that industry R&D labs are located in areas with state science and technology programs, as well as in areas with higher levels of university research, larger quantities of non‐welfare related local government spending, a better educated workforce, and a greater population density.
