The study investigates three hypotheses related to the impacts of labour cost, spillover and networking, and existing technology in a host country. Industry-level data on United States TNCs with majority ownership of the affiliates in a host country between 1989 and 2003. The results of the study suggest that labour cost had positive impact on the internationalization of R&D only for developed host countries. Spillover and networking effects seem to influence high-tech and low-tech industries in developed countries, whereas only medium-tech industries respond to spillover and networking effects to locate R&D in developing host countries. Furthermore, affiliates’ proportion of local sales and sales back to the United States have exhibited differential impacts on R&D spending in developed and developing countries.
