| Outline of Research at the Start |
With this research project, we intend to complete a theoretical study of the effects of regional policy competition on the geography location of innovation and industry. With increased economic integration, firms emphasize relative costs across regions when selecting optimal production and R&D locations. As such, regional policy plays a key role in the location decisions of firms. This research project investigates how regional governments can set policy strategically with the aim of improving regional welfare while accounting for firm-level location decisions.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This research project studies how regional policy competition influences the geographic location patterns of industry and R&D.
The second stage of the research project has completed a theoretical analysis of the implications of national R&D subsidies for innovation location patterns, economic growth and national welfare. The results have been presented in a discussion paper and submitted to an academic journal for peer review.
Work is progressing on the third stage of the project, with a theoretical framework that studies how import tariff competition affects industry and innovation location patters, economic growth, and national welfare. Results should be presented in a discussion paper soon, allowing for presentation at academic conferences.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The project members will continue to work on the third stage of the project, moving towards the creation of a discussion paper that will facilitate presentations at academic conferences. Project members will also begin work on further extensions of the theoretical framework to consider other forms of regional policy competition.
