Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study analyzes international technology spillovers from both theoretical and empirical points of view. In particular, given that international trade and foreign direct investment are two major channels of international technology spillovers, this study provides new empirical evidence on the relationship between bilateral trade patterns and technology spillovers and the effects of regional trade agreements on technology spillovers. Moreover, this study also examines theoretically the effects of technology spillovers and the effects of industrial and trade policies on technology spillovers. A number of new results are obtained by employing international oligopoly models and mixed oligopoly models.
