The article examines whether firms benefit from the presence of universities when developing technology. By estimating regional knowledge production functions for 101 Italian regions, we observe a strong positive relation between industrial technological performance – measured by patents – and the local presence of universities. In addition, ‘academic’ regions witness higher levels of industria...

1831 As a factor influencing productivity, a country's own research and development to generate new technology is more important than that of the average foreign country. It is generally difficult to separate the effect of importing intermediate goods with embodied technology from the effect of other channels of international technology transmission. According to this study, international trade...

This paper estimates the impact of China’s exchange rate changes on exports of competitor countries in third markets, which we call the “spillover effect”. We use recent theory to develop an identification strategy in which competition between China and its developing country competitors in specific products and destinations plays a key role. We exploit the variation— afforded by disaggregated ...

This paper analyses why a firm chooses foreign direct investment rather than arms-length contracts in supplying overseas markets. When contracts are incomplete we show that this choice must balance the moral hazard associated with external markets against that associated with internal markets. We show that arms-length contracts are preferred when the overseas agent has limited opportunities for...

An earlier version of this paper circulated under the title: ”International R&D Spillover and Intersectoral Trade Flows: Do they Match?”. Thanks are due to seminar audiences at ColoradoBoulder, the 1995 NBER Summer Institute, Purdue, Wisconsin-Madison, and Yale, especially Robert Evenson, Zvi Griliches, James Harrigan, Keith Maskus, F.M.

In this study, we analyze the effect of knowledge spillover on productivity in Indonesian manufacturing industry from 2010 to 2014 using inter-sectoral linkages and inter-regional linkages. For first time literature, apply an input-output table geographic distance between regions as weight matrix spatial econometric estimation measure spillover. We find that: (1) transactions intermediate goods...

Numerical simulations are presented to examine the effect of the lee-side static stability on the spillover of orographic precipitation. The results show that the presence a cold-air pool in the lee of a mountain ridge greatly increases the precipitation spillover because the cold pool suppresses the lee-side downslope air motion that otherwise leads to a rapid evaporation of the precipitation....

Since the reform and opening-up, China has made remarkable achievements in economic growth, but also led to a substantial increase carbon emissions. The Chinese government actively formulated energy intensity reduction targets taken emission measures. paper investigates impact of on emissions using dynamic spatial Durbin model based panel data from 30 provinces 2006 2019. results show that prom...
