Spatial Patterns of Technology Diffusion: An Empirical Analysis using TFP

Abreu, Maria; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - 2004

In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

What drives the international transfer of climate change mitigation technologies? Empirical evidence from patent data

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; … - 2010

Using patent data from 66 countries for the period 1990-2003, we characterize the factors which promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies on a global scale. Regression results show that technology-specific capabilities of the recipient countries are...
