R&D and Technology Spillovers via FDI: Innovation and Absorptive Capacity

Yuko Kinoshita · 2000 · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

Summary. This study examines how R&D and foreign direct investment affect firm productivity in Czech manufacturing. The research finds that R&D's learning effect matters far more than innovation for productivity growth. Technology spillovers from foreign partners occur only in specific sectors like electrical machinery and radio & TV, where foreign firms actively invest in R&D. No general spillover benefits reach local firms from foreign joint ventures.
