Exploring the Existence of Local and Global Knowledge Spillovers: Evidence from Plant-Level Data
We investigate the existence of local (within-country) and global (between-country) knowledge
spillovers within a single analytical framework. Our study is based on a detailed database
of domestically owned and foreign-affiliated manufacturing plants located in Ireland. The
results of our econometric analysis show that domestically owned plants benefit from the
research and development (R&D) activities of other domestically owned plants, as well as
from R&D activities conducted in the country of origin of foreign-owned plants through
their presence in Ireland. A fundamental difference between such locally generated and locally
transmitted global spillovers appears to be that the latter are much less constrained by
distance decay effects.
