Abstract

ABSTRACT Research and Development (R&D) outsourcing has rapidly grown in recent decades but little attention has been paid to the persistence with which these contracts are carried out. In this way, this study contributes to the literature by providing new evidence on the extent of true state dependence in explaining the persistence of outsourcing R&D to a type of contractor. Further, we explicitly distinguish between offshore and onshore outsourcing strategies and study their own- and cross-state dependence. In doing so, we estimate a set of dynamic models of strategy adoption using a panel of Spanish manufacturing firms from 2005 to 2014. The data allow for the distinction between five types of contractors and their domestic or foreign origin in each of them. Our results support the idea that R&D outsourcing with a type of contractor exhibits true-state dependence although moderate, with onshore R&D outsourcing being more state-dependent than its offshore counterpart. Results also indicate the existence of cross-state dependence in both directions.

期刊介绍: Economics of Innovation and New Technology is devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of the determinants and effects of innovation, new technology and technological knowledge. The journal aims to provide a bridge between different strands of literature and different contributions of economic theory and empirical economics. This bridge is built in two ways. First, by encouraging empirical research (including case studies, econometric work and historical research), evaluating existing economic theory, and suggesting appropriate directions for future effort in theoretical work. Second, by exploring ways of applying and testing existing areas of theory to the economics of innovation and new technology, and ways of using theoretical insights to inform data collection and other empirical research. The journal welcomes contributions across a wide range of issues concerned with innovation, including: the generation of new technological knowledge, innovation in product markets, process innovation, patenting, adoption, diffusion, innovation and technology policy, international competitiveness, standardization and network externalities, innovation and growth, technology transfer, innovation and market structure, innovation and the environment, and across a broad range of economic activity not just in ‘high technology’ areas. The journal is open to a variety of methodological approaches ranging from case studies to econometric exercises with sound theoretical modelling, empirical evidence both longitudinal and cross-sectional about technologies, regions, firms, industries and countries.
