Investment in research and development (R&D) affects a country's total factor productivity. Recently new theories of … total factor productivity of its trade partners. Following these theoretical developments we estimate the effects of a … country's R&D capital stock and the R&D capital stocks of its trade partners on the country's total factor productivity. We …
