Abstract

In this thesis the knowledge spillovers from large multinational firms to Dutch SME’s are studied. Focus is laid upon different channels of spillovers and which ones prevail more and why. Moreover, the moderating and conditioning effects of firm-level, regional and (supra-) national variables are brought to light.
