Measuring Changes in the Bilateral Technology Gaps between China, India and the U.S. 1979 - 2008
Shen, Keting - 2015
Popular literature suggests a rapid narrowing of the technology gap between China and the U.S. based on large … (especially in sciences) in China in recent years. Little literature attempts to measure the technology gap directly using … the later reflect both differing factor endowments and technology parameters. This paper assesses changes in China …

Multinational Enterprises, International Trade, and Productivity Growth : Firm-Level Evidence from the United States
Keller, Wolfgang - 2003
We estimate international technology spillovers to U.S. manufacturing firms via imports and foreign direct investment (FDI) between the years of 1987 and 1996. In contrast to earlier work, our results suggest that FDI leads to significant productivity gains for domestic firms. The size of FDI...

Measuring the Commercial Potential of Science
Masclans, Roger; Hasan, Sharique; Cohen, Wesley M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper uses a large language model to develop an ex-ante measure of the commercial potential of scientific findings. In addition to validating the measure against the typical holdout sample, we validate it externally against 1.) the progression of scientific findings through a major...

Quid Pro Quo, Knowledge Spillover, and Industrial Quality Upgrading : Evidence from the Chinese Auto Industry
Bai, Jie - 2020
While there is a vast body of research on the benefits of FDI in developing countries, whether and how the form of FDI matters have received limited attention. In this paper, we study the impact of FDI via quid pro quo (technology for market access) on facilitating knowledge spillover and...
