| 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.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Travel expenses were lower than anticipated during the previous fiscal year. As a result, a small share of the grant has carried forward to the current fiscal year. These funds will be used to purchase hardware necessary for the completion of the research project.
