Trade, knowledge spillovers, and growth

Localised Knowledge Spillovers and Trade Competitiveness The Case of Italy

A renewed interest has been growing recently for the spatial dimension of trade and knowledge flows. Several contributions have shown that knowledge proximity matters in mediating flows of knowledge and that knowledge spillovers tend to occur within limited geographical boundaries.

Globalisation , Productivity and Technology Research Paper 2002 / 23 North - South Trade , Knowledge Spillovers and Growth

The endogenous growth literature has stimulated empirical research into links between trade and growth in general and international knowledge spillovers in particular. Results relating to the latter have been mixed and the issue of the appropriate construction of the spillover variable remains contentious. In this paper we develop measures taking account of whether knowledge is a public or priv...

Foreign Knowledge Spillovers and Total Factor Productivity Growth: Evidence from Four ASEAN Countries

This study examines the dynamic relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity having controlled for other channels of external openness: exports and imports in four ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. We employ the panel data analysis PDA (fixed effect and dynamic panel models) as well as the panel cointegration and Granger causali...

Outsourcing and Knowledge Spillovers

Inspired by the theory of variety-expanding product innovation we derive a testable relationship of outsourcing on the growth rate of knowledge. We estimate this relationship with a firm-level dataset, which is a unique match of PATSTAT patent data and the Amadeus dataset. We find evidence that forward spillovers are stronger than backward spillovers, where forward spillovers are defined as spi...
