Utilization of R&D Results in the Home and Foreign Plants of Multinationals
研究了瑞典跨国公司的研发成果在母国和海外工厂的利用情况，发现母国研发成果约五分之四的价值增值在母国工厂实现，五分之一惠及海外工厂，但海外研发未用于母国工厂。
This paper analyzes the utilization of R&D results in the home and foreign plants of Swedish multinational enterprises (MNEs). The findings indicate that firms' R&D undertaken in the home country is used as an input in both the home and foreign plants of the MNEs. This suggests that technology is transferred to the foreign plants. Around four‐fifths of the gain in value‐added attributed to home R&D was realized in the MNEs' home plants, while the remaining fifth benefitted the foreign plants. R&D in foreign affiliates does not appear to be used as an input in home plants.
