Sounds interesting, do you have some references?

I think Ketokivi is the paper I read (no idea what website this is hosted on):

https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/63693/1/519737458.pd...

aside from the basic claim that large factories are doing some amount of R&D on-site, this read like nonsense to me. Could be my lack of depth in industrial organization / economics.

maybe also search 'industrial clustering' or 'innovation clusters'
