Abstract

This article explores the extent to which the regional higher education system (HES) influences the location of foreign research and development (R&D). To do so, we use a dataset with information on the location choices of new foreign R&D establishments within Spain from 2005 to 2013. Similarly, we use a multiple measure of the three university missions, distinguishing between research capacity training, scientific research, and technology transfer. We find that the probability of a foreign R&D establishment being located in a region is positively affected by the strength of the region’s HES missions, and more specifically by the quality of its scientific research, while its research training capacity and knowledge transfer activities do not seem to play a significant role. Moreover, the strength of the research mission has a positive influence on the location choice of foreign units conducting research activities but is weak to explain the location of those performing development activities.

大学对外国研发中心的选址有影响吗?
本文探讨了区域高等教育系统(HES)对国外研发(R&D)选址的影响程度。为此,我们使用了一个数据集,其中包含2005年至2013年西班牙境内新设立的外国研发机构的区位选择信息。同样地,我们使用了三种大学使命的多重衡量标准,区分了研究能力培训、科学研究和技术转移。研究发现,外国研发机构落户的概率受到该地区科研任务强度、科研质量的积极影响,而其科研培训能力和知识转移活动的影响并不显著。此外,研究访问团的实力对开展研究活动的外国单位的地点选择有积极影响,但不足以解释开展发展活动的外国单位的地点选择。凝胶分类f21;F23;O32
