The Endogenous growth literature has stimulated empirical research into links
between trade and growth in general and international technology spillovers in particular.
As a consequence, numerous papers to exploit the new trends of the new growth theories
have started to emerge in a seemingly endless stream.
The literature has investigated almost technology diffusion across the developed
economies. A number of researchers have found that foreign sources of technology are an
important contributor to productivity growth for the developed economies. A very little
research however has been carried out on the magnitude and significance of international
technology diffusion for the countries with low and middle incomes. Those studies too
could find spillover effects to developing countries and have found that the trade is
important in faoilitating such technology spillovers.
The expectation of the present paper is that developing world are most likely to gain
access to knowledge through their trade with the developed world, given that R&D is
concentrated in a small number of developed countries. Through a long history
developing economies have been in unequal integration with the world economy. But the
combined impact of todays world globalization and the broad spread of knowledge and
technologies have significantly changed the forms of integration and have set a new
course of important implications for development strategies. As a result, developing
countries have faced with new challenges and tasks. Therefore the model that was tested
in the paper is very characteristic and applicable to developing countries that one may
draw some important suggestions and conclusions from it.
