Title: The internationalization of R&D
Abstract: This paper surveys what we know about the internationalization of 
	 business R&D spending. I examine three specific questions about the 
	 global changes in R&D activity: First, what is the evidence that R&D is 
	 becoming more internationalized (more footloose)? Second, what are the 
	 factors that influence the choice of location for R&D? The third 
	 question asks how this is changing over time. The paper concludes with a 
	 discussion of the implications of this research and the trends in 
	 business R&D location for Canada.
