AB The  configuration  of  host  national  systems  of  innovation  and  the  technological international networks established by multinational enterprises (MNE) can become key aspects for the internationalisation decision  that  may also concern knowledge related activities such as R&D. Through the combination of a theoretical model and empirical analysis, this paper shows to what extent  institutional quality becomes a determinant factor for the attraction of foreign R&D activities, these latter being conditioned by the technological and productive capabilities of local contexts and the competitive pressures MNE face in  foreign countries.  Our contribution  is a  step further  in the  explanatory framework of R&D internationalisation and also provides new insights about what are the  key  reinforcement  mechanisms  for  the  attraction  of  new  knowledge  intensive investments.
