Summary/Abstract: Theoretical models analyzing the effects of globalization suggest that knowledge transfer is fostered by the combination between foreign expertise and domestic knowledge. One possible outcome is that regional development can be stimulated in an indirect way by policies that encourage the transfer of knowledge between countries and regions. This article will test this hypothesis on data from Romania. More precisely, we will test if the level of globalization of the Romanian macroeconomic regions has a significant impact over the R&D activity of the regions. The results of the test would be a guiding factor in regional development policies.
