Subnational Institutional Differences and FDI Spillovers Behind the R&D–Performance Relationship in Russia

Published 2024 in Thunderbird International Business Review

ABSTRACT

This study explores how subnational institutional differences in a large emerging economy—Russia—influence the relationship between research and development (R&D), foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers, and firm performance. We find that the relationship between R&D and firm performance is positively moderated by subnational institutional development. Furthermore, we find that FDI will more positively moderate the relationship between R&D and firm performance if subnational institutional development is also higher, thus showing that subnational institutional development may foster the positive spillover effect of FDI on local firms.
