Technology Decomposition and Technology Recombination in Industrial Catch-up for Large Emerging Economies: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Industries

R&D, Technology Transfer and Productivity Growth: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Industries

Based on an industry-level data set for Chinese largeand medium-size manufacturing enterprises over the period of 1996–2006, the paper investigates the impacts of three technology acquisition channels, i.e. in-house R&D, foreign technology transfer and domestic technology transfer, on the productivity growth by using both the output elasticity and the rate of return methods. We find that in-hou...

Regional Industrial Growth Evidence from Chinese Industries

This paper examines several theories of regional industrial development in the case of China. It studies regional factors representing three broadly defined sources of regional growth: dynamic externalities arising from knowledge spillovers, natural advantage and local market conditions, and foreign trade and direct investment. Using provincial-level data on two-digit Chinese Industrial Classif...

Determinants of New Technology-Based Firms’ Performance in Catch-Up Regions: Evidence from the U.S. Biopharmaceutical and IT Service Industries

R&D offshoring and technology learning in emerging economies: Firm-level evidence from the ICT industry

This paper studies the impact of the R&D offshoring of multinational enterprises on the firms in host emerging economies. We develop a two-stage non-cooperative game to analyze the strategic interaction between multinational and host country enterprises engaged in R&D investment. An empirical analysis of 12,309 manufacturing firms in the ICT industry in China shows that R&D offshoring has a pos...

The Effect of Technology Spillover from FDI: An Empirical analysis of Chinese Manufacturing Industries

This paper examines the effects of technology spillover from FDI based on panel data analysis of Chinese large-scale domestic manufacturing industries. We use the panel data of 27 Chinese manufacturing industries from 2001 to 2007. We estimate technology spillover effects by two steps. First, we estimate the total factor productivity of domestic firms’ and foreign firms’ by Cobb-Douglas Product...
