Overview: This paper examines the role of high-technology trade, IPRs (Intellectual Property Rights) and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in determining a country's rate of innovation and economic growth. The empirical analysis is conducted using a unique panel data set of 47 developed and developing countries from 1970 to 1990. The results suggest that: High-technology imports are relevant in explaining domestic innovation both in developed and developing countries; foreign technology has a stronger impact on per capita GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth than domestic technology; IPRs affect the innovation rate, but this impact is more significant for developed countries; the results regarding FDI are inconclusive.
