This paper investigates the link between outsourcing and innovation in emerging economies. The results indicate that outsourcing, and particularly offshoring, is associated with a greater probability to invest in research and development, however, only outsourcing increases the probability to introduce new products. The authors note, however, that these results only apply in an environment that diligently protects intellectual property rights.
