| 研究実績の概要 |
This research theoretically studies how firms select geographic locations for R&D activities in an increasingly integrated world economy, and evaluates the costs and benefits of R&D offshoring for home and host countries, with a key focus on employment and productivity growth. The first stage of the project produced a general equilibrium model of international trade and productivity growth, in which firms select the best locations for innovation and production. To facilitate research progress, the order of the second and third stages was reversed, and an analysis of how changes in demographic structure affect productivity growth through the links between industry location patterns and national employment was completed. These research results have been summarized in a new discussion paper.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
The project members will continue to revise the research results of the discussion papers that were created in the first and second years of the research project in preparation for publication in formal academic journals. Conditions allowing, research results will also be presented in international conferences. In addition, project members will be begin work on the development of a framework to examine the effects of R&D subsidy policy on the innovation and production location patterns that arise when firms vertical split the R&D process into tasks that can be outsourced internationally, as originally planned for the second stage of the research project.
