This paper examines the determinants of foreign manufacturing regional transactions using data derived from an expenditure survey in Wales. The paper assesses the significance of various factors including subsidiary age and plant size, as well as specific industry influences, and explores the dynamics of local purchasing propensities through time. The paper also considers the role of buyer‐supplier partnerships in productivity spillovers at the regional level.
