Résumé : R&D and innovation activities of firms are the main source of economic growth over the long term. A recent trend is the increasing off shoring of R&D activities of large Multinational Enterprises (MNE), i.e. delocalization of R&D outside their home countries. After examining the evidence and explanatory factors of this new phenomenon, the authors focus on the study of the factors impacting on the internationalization of R&D of EU MNEs. Based on the data coming from a survey of large EU MNEs, they first present some descriptive statistics based on this survey and, second, carry out an econometric analysis to examine the drivers of R&D internationalization, of the preferred location(s), and the impact of public support granted to R&D. Policy implications are also discussed. © 2013, IGI Global.
