abstract = {We study the regional location of multinationals in Ireland since the 1970s by focusing on the
role played by agglomeration economies and public incentives intent on dispersing industrial
activity to the more disadvantaged areas of Ireland. We find that regional policy has only been
effective in attracting low-tech firms to the disadvantaged areas during the time when there was
a much more laissez-faire approach to regional policy and when the primary industrial policy
emphasis was on attracting high-tech firms into Ireland in general. Our results also show that
hi-tech firms spread more evenly across the country and that urbanization economies were for
these firms a more important locational determinant than public incentives.},
