Technology spillovers and International Borders : ( A Spatial Econometric Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The borders of EU are open for the movement of resources but still there can be some strong negative effects of international borders on productivity and knowledge spillovers compared to the internal regional borders. These negative effect could be due to language barriers, cultural differences, local rules and regulation, legal issues, property rights etc. These effects of international borders have economic significance that need to be controlled for analyzing the regional knowledge spillovers. This aspect related to international borders has not been fully taken into account in the literature related to technology spillovers. In this study, we specifically test international border effect on technology and knowledge spillovers. The study implements extended versions of spatial econometric models like Spatial Autoregressive model (SAR) and Spatial Durbin Model (SDM). The results show that there exist close link between productivity and knowledge stock. The productivity effect of both technology and knowledge spillovers are significant for neighbouring regions within the country, while the neighbour regions across international border have statistically insignificant spillovers effect on productivity.
