Opis: Global Integration and Technology Transfer - B Hoekman

The importance of acquiring and adapting advanced foreign technologies for employment opportunities and economic growth in developing countries can scarcely be overstated. For 10 years the trade research group at the World Bank has undertaken outstanding and innovative empirical studies of the processes under which technology transfer occurs and its impacts on local economies. This volume brings together the fruits of this endeavour and offers a wealth of perspectives and timely information on this central issue for development. It should find a home on the bookshelves of all international development economists and technology specialists.Introduction; B.M.Hoekman & B.Smarzynska Javorcik - PART 1: LITERATURE SURVEYS - Modes of Technology Transfer at the Firm Level; H.Pack - Foreign Direct Investment, Linkages, and Technology Spillovers; K.Saggi - Plant- and Firm-Level Evidence on 'New' Trade Theories; J.Tybout - PART 2: FOREIGN TRADE AND PRODUCTIVITY - On the Quantity and Quality of Knowledge Diffusion: The Impact of Openness and Foreign R&D on North-North and North-South R&D Spillovers; M.Schiff & Y.Wang - The Knowledge-Content of Machines: A New View on North-South Trade and Technology Diffusion; G.B.Navaretti, M.Schiff & I.Soloaga - Exports and Economic Performance: Evidence from a Panel of Chinese Enterprises; A.Kraay - PART 3: FDI, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND PRODUCTIVITY - Foreign Investment and Productivity Growth in Czech Enterprises; S.Djankov & B.M.Hoekman - Technological Leadership and the Choice of Entry Mode by Foreign Investors; B.Smarzynska Javorcik - Does Foreign Direct Investment Increase the Productivity of Domestic Firms?
