Flows of people, flows of ideas, and the inequality of nations (2011, background): “The right hand side variable is R&D expenditures in leading economies, weighted by either trade shares (Coe and Helpman, 1995; Coe et al., 1997) or FDI shares (de la Potterie and Lichtenberg, 2001).”
Investments Abroad and Performance at Home: Evidence from Italian Multinationals (2004, background): “…2002, Konigs and Murphy, 2001, Bruno and Falzoni, 2000, Blomstrom, Fors and Lipsey, 1997, Lipsey, 1999, Bassino, 1998, Mariotti, Mutinelli and Piscitello, 2003) and productivity (Braconier, Eckholm, Midelfart Knarvik 2001, Van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie and Lichtenberg, 2001) of outward FDI.”

International R&D Spillovers and Institutions (2009, neutral): “2001), weights based on the fraction of trading partners’ output exported to the recipient country (Lichtenberg and van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie, 1998), weights based on inward and outward FDI flows ( van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie and Lichtenberg, 2001 ) and stocks (Zhu and Jeon, 2007), weigh”
Why is there no race to the bottom in capital taxation (2009, background): “…effect exceeds the tax rate effect:10 ðs0m;j sm;jMjÞ<s0m;j XN j j¼1 ðs0m;j sm; jÞ rM j ð8Þ 10 In reality, governments may not only lower capital tax rates to attract an inflow of mobile capital from abroad, they may also seek to generate technology imports (Van Pottelsberghe and Lichtenberg 2001).”

R&D and Development (2003, background): “Coe and Helpman (1995) estimate rates of return to R&D of 123% for the G7 and 85% for the remaining 15 OECD countries; van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie and Lichtenberg (2001) find returns of 68% in the G7 and 15% for a subset of the remaining OECD countries.”
From R&D to Productivity Growth: Do the Institutional Settings and the Source of Funds of R&D Matter? (2004, positive): “In addition, foreign R&D incorporated into trade flows has a significant impact on MFP growth. van Pottelsberghe and Lichtenberg (2001) show that foreign R&D can affect domestic performance through both imports and outward foreign direct investment (technology sourcing and learning practices).”
