Overview

Longitudinal analysis reveals greater knowledge and economic distance increase overseas research and development in Chinese manufacturing firms, highlighting strategic motives for foreign innovation.

Key Points

  • To evaluate how knowledge and economic distance influence overseas research and development intensity in emerging market multinational enterprises.
  • Conducted a longitudinal analysis of 121 listed Chinese manufacturing multinational enterprises across the 2011–2016 period.
  • Assessed the moderating impacts of host country intellectual property rights protection and enterprise political ties with home country governments.
  • Multinationals demonstrate higher overseas R&D intensity in host countries with greater knowledge distance and economic distance.
  • Stronger intellectual property rights protection in host nations significantly dampens the positive effects of knowledge and economic distance on overseas R&D intensity.
  • Political ties with the home country government amplify the positive link between knowledge distance and overseas R&D intensity, but show an insignificant moderating effect on economic distance.
