Popis:	Large internationally connected cities are important hubs of innovative activity, yet research on the attractiveness of such ‘global’ cities for R&D activities by multinational corporations (MNCs) is scarce. We posit that factors determining cities’ potential to attract R&D investments by MNCs differ depending on the type of R&D investments: research or development. We investigate the heterogeneous determinants of location choices for 1,537 cross-border R&D investments by 633 MNCs in 55 global cities during 2003-2012. The findings suggest that cities’ technological and university strengths are stronger attracting factors for research activities, while global cities’ market potential and intellectual property rights protection attracts investments in development activities. Implications are discussed. ispartof: Regional Studies vol:56 issue:12 status: Published online
