Hastened by triangle trade patterns, exchange of immediate goods and inward foreign direct investment have become the main channels to achieve technical spillover. Based on regional inward capital data and classified traded goods, we examine causes of innovation in the context of inward foreign...

This paper formalizes the design of experiments intended specifically to study spillover effects. By first randomizing the intensity of treatment within clusters and then randomly assigning individual treatment conditional on this cluster-level intensity, a novel set of treatment effects can be...
