How does innovation shape firms international expansion and how does trade policy affect this margin? I plan to analyze theoretically how firms adjust their R&D investment behavior when they are close to regime-switching cutoffs: from domestic production to exporting, and from exporting to multinational production. In the model, innovation intensity increases the probability of a positive productivity shock. This means that firms close to a switching threshold may change their R&D investment because a successful innovation can move them into a more profitable regime. The final exercise is to analyze how tariff shocks generate different innovation responses depending on where firms are located in the productivity distribution.
