Abstract: This paper concerns offshore R&D investments, focusing mainly on large multinational companies within the industrialized world. What do we know about offshore R&D activities regarding trends, scope and destinations, driving forces and constraints? What do we know about consequences for the R&D investing company? What is the impact on national systems of innovation, regional R&D externalities as well as on agglomeration and urban economies of home and host countries?
